Can’t say I’m an expert reading NC code but I do know the basics and able to read/change what I see is not good for my needs. I started today to do my trial run again but soon as the cnc started it stopped and looking at the code was at line N30 T1 M6. That’s a tool change and I’m sure I didn’t ask for it in the tool configuration. In addition after I deleted this line the code was asking for F30 (feed rate) but the cnc was going probably at F5. I have the correct post processor for Mach3 (MACH3B.PST)

I never asked any questions related to this subject before, just figured out what I needed but now I’m asking are any guide lines perhaps to be aware of when you configure the parameters? Perhaps a default setting?

I have done this before in few cnc’s with the same software and never had any problems but now I use a desktop PC instead of Laptop and before I was using the parallel port where now I use ESS.

Thank you
