Polymer Nails for CNC Workholding: 5 Steps
some reading and tutorial video might be helpfull to explain your problem further...http://www.machsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Mach3Mill_Install_Config.pdf
If your driver require an active high, both direction and step low active should be uncheck .
port setup is usually 378 ( no need to type 0x)

Does your Z=0 on top of material changed after that job?
My shop is so small and a real vertical panel saw too expensive for me.So i m trying to build my own.
Anyone with a not too expensive way of moving the carriage by typing the value on a DRO?
I...
limitation is on the cutter diameter on the pocket side ...unless the wood is thick enough to use the vcarve method...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4992bEoNYI
using a rebar in the middle and non-shrinkable grout might help if weight is not an issue...compromise between rigidity and weight is needed.I would use larger rectangular extrusion.
When editing a job at the cam window ,the feedrate of 6 per minute is default unless you modified it.(or am I mixing mach 3?)
but you can also select manual and enter the value you want for a...
The coil of the relay is energized by the momentary (normaly open) contact of the green start button,this contact is paralled with an unused contact of your relay.
its called a holding contact that...
there is nothing seemingly in the traceart program that produce the gcode ...has to be on the main board?but cant find any information on it...
After changing main board and re-wiring from 208 to 240 volts single phase, the homing speed seem too high making it easy to stall when homing . I cant find a way to lower the jog speed ...(skew) or...
Why cant you home your machine...unless you are manually zeroing ...in that case to find your coordinate again you can manually jog to a hole and write on the DRO
the coordinate of the hole written...
the first example (red ) look like wood that is not dried enough.Also if you are pocketing with the v tool the tool tip does most of the work witch might take a toll on cheap bits.
One possible explanation could be the motor loosing steps going up and not going down with gravity helping.
Possibly a motor tunning problem , i would try slowing down the speed and acceleration on...
You can jog the motor one turn forward then one turn backward to see if it come back to the same place .
There is a verify function for that on the setting page of mach 3 though.
I suggest to you...
One last thing make sure these motors are not loosing steps by lowering your speed in motor tunning ...
intermitent problems are the worst
Try to move the motor by themselves , not coupled to the machine , to make sure there is no binding or anything preventing their movement. If every things fail like handlewanker said
the G540 gecko...
try them with no load
soft limits looks at machine coordinate as stated in this great video (time 15:30)

Im receiving a soft limit warning z max that is keeping me from running my files.
Im pretty sure its the positive move of the rapid the problem.
Is soft limits looking at machine coordinate or work...
Hi, if you are using Mach 3 , I would make sure the G540 is receiving a direction signal from the computer.You can reconfigure your pins from Y to Z axis, to make sure its not parallel port...
All the IC s on these boards are installed with sockets, burn an axis a while back lucky for me I had also bought replacement IC at the time...a breeze to replace them . Great ideas cause these...

makeshift heatsink/motor mount
Problem solved...
After changing my speed settings in motor tunning, I realized that the maximum motor speed attainable was 275 inch per minute, no matter how high the number entered.
The speed is...
I m using gecko G-540 (10 microsteps), and 1610 ballscrews, so my step per is set at
5080 (2000 X 2.54) steps per inch.
I ve set my speed at 200 in motor tuning, yet my maximum feedrate is 186.47...
wrong answer
I agree with John-100 also if the motors dont need the full 3.5 amps put the needed resistor on all motors to reduce current to minimum and make sure you have a fan blowing directly on the back of...
dont know how much current is needed for your motor but according to gecko the value of the resistor between 1 and 5 on the db9 should be amperage X 1000 . Unless you misread the code bar, 2 ohms...
When you stated that you automatically set your step per, I imagine you were using the axis calibration on mach 3 settings page.If this is the case and
your motor were stalling you should lower...
when doing your tool selection there is a setting call arc slowdown
