Hi chuck,
my profile, or more technically correct, screenset never had a DRO for scaling, I always used G50 and G51 for scaling whenever I've needed it.

Over the last couple of years my screenset has changed as I've built a new machine, much bigger, more powerful and more rigid, using servos
rather than steppers, and so I rather doubt my screenset is of any particular use to you.

What I have found is that my screenset is 99.99% standard as shipped by NFS....all I've really added are those specific features I need for my machine,
things like individual alarm inputs for each servo, and the inputs for a wired pendant for example. All and anything I can possibly require is already built into Mach4.

Thanks for the reply Craig,

For some reason I thought you sent me a profile that included scaling like in Mach3 two years ago.

I apologize, my memory apparently isn’t very good.

I will end up doing as you are doing with G50 & G51

Again I apologize for my poor memory and thanks again for responding to me.
Chuck

Right on, and I like the part where you can read the same good book more than once   😊

FYI, the machine I converted was a Shizoka mill master, 28 inch X travel with FANUC servos

Yes very substantial, it weighs in at 11,000 pounds.

In addition to milling I installed a 180W CO2 laser on it and I can also do plasma cutting with it.
