Hello all I'm Wayne.  I'm new to all this so I have a lot of questions.  But first, I'm Wayne I live in the SF BA for now and have recently purchased a Mini CNC Machine.  I had a project in mind that required the cnc router.  Now I'n working on getting eveything set up.  So I'm sure you'll be hearing from me now and then.

Hi all,

Let me introduce myself as well.

My name is Max and have been working on my machine for the better part of a year now. I had it running quite nicely until I switched from XP to 7-32 to add a XBOX one controller. Now it sucks again. Stepper motors are running way too slow. My setup:

SOFTWARE:
Mach3 Version R3.043.066

BALL SCREW:
High-precision TBI ball screw Q16mm pitch 5mm (C7)

SPINDLE:
1.5KW Water-cooled Spindle motor + VFD
Diameter:80mm x Length:205mm
Power: 1.5 KW Voltage: 220V

Driver Controller:
Digital Stepper driver DM556D (24V to 50V)
Power supply: 600W 48V 12A

BREAKOUT BOARD:
C10

STEPPER MOTOR:
Stepper Motor 425 oz In. (Nema 24)
1.8° /200 Steps Per Rev.
3 Amps Current Per Phase
4-wire Bi-polar
(direct drive, no gear reduction)

effective work area dimensions (soft limits):
Z-axis travel 120mm
X-axis travel 450mm
Y-axis travel 990mm

Anyway, I hope to contribute to this forum, as well as get a solution to my motor problem.

Until next time.

Hi everyone, my name is Frank and I think I am retired and I am new to CNC machining.
I am an electronics technologist for the past 52 years mostly in manufacturing either for my own companies or for others, in any case CNC machining is a revived old interest for me.
So here I go, I already have something that I don't understand and perhaps even in the wrong forum and I hope some one can either advise me or redirect me.
My issue is I do't understand "Limits override", my steps as follows:

- Auto LimitOverRide - Green
- OverRide Limits - Flashing Red
- M1-Limit = Active
- M1Home = Active
- Reset = Does not work (***** Cannot move off limit *****)
- Status = Press Reset - Emergency Mode Active
          Limit switch is activated, check your axises position!
- Config>Ports&Pins>Input Signals - Disable X--

- Auto LimitOverRide - Green
- OverRide Limits - Flashing Red
- M1Home = Active
- Reset = OK

My question is - What am I missing?

Cheers,

Hi.
 My name is Garry. I live in the UK. i'm an Experienced Toolmaker and Experimental Engineer.
 I've joined the group to ask for help with a small problem i have with Mach3, I can also offer help to other members with Engineering problems if I can.
 My problem.....
 When using the Spindle speed Override, the spindle, instead of increasing in percentage increments, turns the spindle to max R.P.M.
 This isn't a major problem, just an inconvenience, but is a handy facility to have.
 Iv;e tried looking in configuration, but cant see anything that would alter the Spindle speed settings other than the calibration facility. I'm far from being an expert when it comes to the inner workings of computers, so a simple explanation would be best for me to understand.
 Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi, my name is Kurnia Brahmana, I have seen some video on youtube about the CNC and what they do and make with it, and mainly they use MACH3,
so I am interested in having one.

I would like to join this forum to learn more about the cnc before buying a cnc machine,
so I would have a cnc with a minimum problems.

thank you
