To my mind, bigger is better, more so on the Z axis.... Art www.artofcnc.ca

I have a RF-31 that I am close to finishing for a CNC conversion. The steppers for the x and y are 520 oz*in using gecko drives. I have another that I can use for the z-axis. The CNC express mill from

I use one also. At roughly $40 retail, you can't beat it! Tim computers and it screen, development

FWIW, I have Mach2 running on a 300MHz Pentium and a 400MHz AMD K6, both run it, the latter seems to run it better. Sometimes on the 300 I see "pausing" or "hesitation" on some rapid moves. The

Hi: Just a quick report on using a IOGear switch port to use two computers with one mouse,monitor and keyboard. I just put one on my system and it works great and very slick. Hit the Scroll-lock key

Frank: A 266 sounds a little light, but CPU speed has no effect on the final pulse rate. If you can run Mach2, you get the full speed available, there is no slowdown on slower computers. You can

Steve: Thanks, the numbers help. It seems to indicate that the "normal" spincount is too low and the current is almost 3 times the normal. This means a 3:1 reduction in speed is being sensed. This is

Daniel: Send me the file and I'll either fix the trouble or let you know whats causing it. Sounds like a small bug in the interpreter or something. Beware of M0's, they mean "end of program" and will

Hi: Don't delete the old version when updateing, it will cause your settings to be lost. Keep a backup of your *.xml files so you can copy them back in any event. As to the toolpath, please send me

Thanks Art, I thought so :) I am trying to get a computer that I can use to test mach2 program. My motors are runing at maximum 6000. Will a PII266 running on Win2k be enough for that kind of speed

IJ circles. Art, does this problem fix mine??? After the M0 command, I put a full circle command. And sometimes it runs and other don?t (no stepper stall here, Mc2 was ignoring the first line after

Maybe this can help to solve ... If I use M0 or M1, the toolpath display the code until it gets the first stop command; The same occurs for elapsed time; The file runs fine in M5. Daniel.

Thanks Art Arturo

Got my uS and mS mixed, at 500rpm they are 10mS wide. Did a test with spindle feedback turned off, spindle starts and spin adder still delayed for 10 seconds or so while it counts it's millions, then

I have tried just about all settings and still no tool path. I have tried different versions and I do get a tool path with mach2/2 as before but mach2/1.0 and mach2/1.02 do not. The mach2/2 does not

Sorry Frank: But Mach1 and Mach2 are both running under Win2K or XP only. It is not possible under NT4.0 Thanks, Art www.artofcnc.ca

Hello, I would like to try demo versions of Master5 and mach1/2. I don't have any computer with the win2k installed arround here, only windows NT 4 and win98 (and Linux). Will mach1 or mach2 work on

John, If you beg on tool tips then please beg for them to be optional. I believe that the most helpful aid would be a G&M code directory that would function like the Help tab at the top of the window.

Harry, Go to the top of the Mach1/2 window and click on the configure tab, that will provoke a drop down menu. Click on the menu item "State" and check the IJ mode, more than likely you want it to be

Has anyone experienced a problem importing a dxf circle to mach2. The problem I have is after importing the file and converting it to G code the dimensions change. I can draw a circle inside a square,
