Hi,

This forum is currently undergoing a re-think on layout, content, etc.  http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,38649.0.html

Some functions (such as search and link re-directs, etc.) may be a little cranky until it is all sorted   :'(   

Tweakie.

Hi all,
I am Yann, living in France, and just switched to Mach3 after a period under LinuxCNC. My machine is a DYI CNC router for wood, based on a chinese 3rd gen 5axis breakout board on parallel port. I decided to switch to mach3 after my old laptop died, which made me replace it with a more modern one, already installed with WinXP, and that I did not want to reinstall. It was a good occasion to experiment Mach3 :)
By the way, at the moment, I am still experiencing limit switch errors, but I think this forum will help me, as I have seen several threads on this topic.
I am going to read it in details right now !
Happy to be there !

Hi,
My name is Patrick, I am considering picking up a Prolight 1000 which is working with it's original controller and software. I was wondering if anyone has upgraded the controller and run with Mach3 or Mach4.

What hardware upgrades did you make?

What Mach version are you running?

And any other info you can help with would be great.

Thanks,

PS: search is down so I haven't been able to find any info in other posts.

Hello everyone
Just a hobby machinist for now but I might get a small engraving business started soon.

Hello,
Just bought a home brew Clarke 1225 cnc conversion, and I'm looking up at a learning curve. I've made a start, 3 broken end mills already! and a couple of pieces of "Unassigned Raw Material" now converted into unrecoverable raw material.

Now searching topics for info on cut depth : cut width ratios...

Hi,

My name is Martin and I am from Slovakia.
I currently study at the Slovak Technical University, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. I am new to this software and have zero experience.

My collegue has a small cnc mill with, what seems to be an external motion controller (it controlls spindle, lights and vacuum), I was given the task to
bring the mill to life but I can tell it won't be easy. I have already run into about million problems and I just started.

I hope to find some guidence here.
Wish me luck.

John here from Alaska, bought a homemade CNC Plasma table, slowly learning it.  Having a prob now with the thing trying to take my z axis to -4, must be in the drawing right?  I can't see where I have that, have redrawn several times and get the same results. if I stop then start it seems to work, its driving me crazy.  Where can I get some advice

hi,
your screenshot (machine) says everything what is wrong.

you are not trying to get the z-axis down, you are traying to do a probe
with radius comp (G41/G42) on.

G41/G42 + Mach3 is a no go (bugs) IMHO
anything is possible, just try to do it.
if you find some mistakes, in my bad bavarian english,they are yours.
