Is there a procedure to convert a g code file to a drawing file ?
The g code would be created by Mach 3 digitizing wizard and
possibly imported into bob cad for modifications.
I have been using version 18 from its creation mostly to create tool path and gcode over the years.
Most of the work was simple programming using autocad light to create tool paths.
I am getting...
I am receiving a lot of drawings in STP format. The cad program I prefer to use is Auotcad Lt. which

what is the size of the rotary union on your machine. Also have you thought
about rebuilding the rotary union .
Deublin does not make the ceramic seals or bearings,
When I press the zero return button X axis and Y axis rapid back to home position. Z axis moves after x an y are at 0.0.
How do I set up Z to retract to zero position first ?

I have an older board in our router.
The board has no revision numbers on it so I assume it is one of the first. No problems.
Can I use the board with your 3 HP VFD (sku: VFD22) ?
Also on your...
I have an older version of Bobart x pro that I ran on version 21. My computer with V21 died along with the software as it was a licensed download. No discs to reload software.

Is the whole bearing assembly moving inside the bearing block? There are two bearings inside. When you move the ball screw back and forth can you see the bearing race moving with the ball screw as...
There are usually two set screw on the black nut you show with the red arrow. Wrap some friction tape of with a piece of aluminum on the ball screw and clamp with vise grips or channel locks to...
I kind of started the same way with a home made foundry making thermoforming tooling in my driveay. Depending on your space requirements I would look at finding an older CNC mill with blown up...
After watching your video I would definitely take a look at your bearing block at the motor end. You should find a jam nut that is used to preload the ball screw to the bearing.
Usually there are...
Thank you
I have written a simple move program in note pad with the M30 command at the end.
Saved it as a *.tap file .
I load the program into Mach3 it comes up on the screen without the M30 command.
I go...
Thank you for your response Arturo.

The screw has a major root diameter (.325") for 6 turns and then transitions to a...
Problem solved. Moved the resistor value to the right by one decimal point and solved the problem. From 2.7K to 27k made a difference.
Now need to get rid of the long rope of resistors to tidy up...

Could someone tell me the number of axis that can be controlled through the C11G break out board ?
thank you.
I am looking for information with regards to using Mach 3 to control a 3d printer. I am
starting a build and am in the design phase looking for information to use Mach to control
4 axis (x , y, z,...

No problem as long as everyone realizes the parameters might vary from
machines.
