Mach3 Ignores Feedrates In G Code
« on: February 07, 2012, 10:09:18 AM »
Hi,
     Mach3 ignores the feed rates in my g code unless I change the "S" in the spindle DRO from 0 to 1.  The problem is that I can't figure out how to save it at 1 and I have to reset it by hand every time I open Mach3.  It is getting tiresome.  Any ideas?  Thank you.

Feedrates should be in code, also spindle speeds and M3/M4 likewise.

The feedrates are in the code.  The spindle speed is manual on my lathe.  So what would I have to add to the code?

M03
G97 S1

Or something like that?

If you go into Config/General Config, on the page there is a place to put code which is run on first start up (Initialisation string).

It is what I was thinking from the start Russ and why I said the spindle needs turned on. I am presuming this is the sherline lathe he was asking about earlier.

Yes, there is a G95 at the top of the code.

That is why then, G95 is feed per rev mode so if you do not have any spindle speed Mach can not really feed per rev. What are your feedrates? In other words are your meant to be feeding per rev or per min? Lathes usually work in g95 but really you need spindle speed feedback for that to work correctly.
