Re: Thread picture uploaded
Hi All,
At 2000 RPM cutting 20 threads per inch, my Z axis would have to move
at 100 IPM, ( I think).
Although my top speed is 180 IPM I wonder what distance it would take
to reach that speed. I

Yeah, I know, you never got to see 8.0 and 9.0, they went away never got
time to release them.
New Features and Bugs fixed:
1) DXF layer is improved, plunge rates added.
2) DXF stutter problem gone.

Interesting note here on speed. Early on I was told that flashcut had a
problem with threading above a certain speed, so I tried to design the
compensator to allow any speed. This is,

Possible bug saving tool and fixture tables

I suspect that a bug has crept into Mach2 RC 7 (I know not when). If you set up a Tool or Fixture on Tables screen and click the relevant button to save/make it persistent then you get the dialog

Re: Thread picture uploaded
You didn't say the type of steel you were threading. The drill rod
steels (silversteel)O-1 W-1, are not the easiest to cut threads on
when compared to free machining steels. I think yours looks just

Re: Limit switches and home switches
Bob,
There were 2 terms I used Home and Reference.
The Mach1/2 "Home" switches are used for referencing. When you reference the

Re: Limit switches and home switches
Bob:
Imagine turning on a machine which has a tool sitting in the middle of the

move to home and then zero the DRO's. Or it

Re: Limit switches and home switches
I thought when you homed, it was based on where you told mach2 home

for? also would the switches have to trigger

Re: Limit switches and home switches
The simple answer is, in normal operation home switches are meant to be
activated. Limit switches are not.
When the machined is commanded to reference (or "home") the machine, the
software moves the
