Morning all! TGIF. I am busy setting up my new CNC setup on a used setup. I have Mach3. I have the Mach3 setups inputs & Limit's and homes getting sorted out. I'm busy reading and re-reading non-stop but wanted to ask about a cool Vid I saw here: m.youtube.com/watch?v=nriyza5ZySs Anyone have something similar they like? I see some pretty cheap caliper styles on Amazon for $40 or so. My budget anyway.
The core of this video is the part where I'm actually stuck now anyway - The video seems to make short work of setting up the "offsets" page in Mach3. This sheet is very new to me.
I confirmed my setup does have this page and it seems to work. I run a CNC plasma table and 2D is quick and painless comparted to the 3D 3 & 4 axis setups. Just a new way of thinking. So at this point I am simply trying to have a CAM2Gcode sample-part in Mach3 and get the X,Y,Z home and min/max setups work correctly when I hut RUN w/ just the steppers firing and moving the table around. Seems so easy.... Back to Chapter 7 in the Mach 3 guide and some more Vids. ;-) Peace and enjoy the weekend all! CG
