Im not sure but, was tool diameter compensation implemented without bugs in mach?
Don Fasso,
Welcome to the wonderful and addictive world of CNC, Im sure you will be able to find all the information you need and more in this forum.
As a recommendation:
1. DO read, read and read some more, Start with the mach manual available in the documentation page under the support drop down menu, then go through the forum when you have a specific question, you can use the search function to help you find what you need.
2. see the video tutorials
3. I recommend starting your own thread for posting something new, unless it is relevant to some other thread already in the forum you can post there, two reasons for this: it is not polite to hijack someone elses thread with some other subject, and you will most likely get more help if you post a clear thread subject regarding your question or comment. For example the subject on this thread "Help Me" does not say anything about what would be in the thread, not to be rude, but people that know their stuff(theres a lot of them to mention them) and that actually take their time to help people, do not have the time to go through every thread to see if they can help, so clear subjects related to the post are better.
4. I recommend that if you are new at this whole cnc thing, not just the mach software, join the cnczone forum as well, there is a lot of information there to help us all, as well as a lot of people willing to help.
5. take care, be careful, safety first.
6. enjoy the ride.
regards
Fernando
