At last! I have now got my bench mill converted to Ballscrews 1605 on bath X & Y axis.
I need a little help so here are just a few questions.
I have retained the glass scales as you can see in the picture.
On the Y axis the Main readout shows -42.690 and on Mach3 DRO it shows +42.9837, a difference of 0.29
I have my 'Steps per' set to 800
Question Glass Scale shows a positive readout whilst the other shows a negative readout. I would like them both the same. How do I do this ?
I have two separate micro switches for each of the X & Y axis. For the Y Axis, Switch 1 serves Y++ whilst the other Switch Shares Y-- and Home, Is this the correct setup ?
If I jog to either end of the Y axis, the switches are trigged but I cant Jog back away from them. How do I do this.?
Here's a good one, Under normal milling operations:-
If the table is moving away from me is this a positive or a negative movement ?
If the table is moving from right to left, is this a positive or a negative movement ?
Lots of questions, I hope you may be able to help.
Thanks
George
