You are a gentleman for sharing your videos to beginners like myself, I am a retired toolmaker and have used a large cnc mill but I just put in the measurements from drawings which my boss drew up, I know have to learn cad drawings for myself to make simple items .
What simple cad software would you recommend .

Will I be excited to hear your thoughts on Mach4!! Hope you have already made the move

[thuffam]

Thanks very much for your informative video! Can you please tell me what software you use to generate the nc file for the circle (eg simple tool paths) and what is the software you mentioned at the end to do the relief (you say it quickly and I cannot understand).Thanks.

[ddddalibor]

nice video, congratulations, is it possible to connect the laser to the Mach3 USB Controller, if possible, what should be connected, I have a router with a Mach3 USB Controller and I want to add a laser, thanks

Hi Sir,

I can see you are an expert..! I hope you can help me..!

Can you demystify some of my worries..?


There is lot of confusion regarding the reliability and consistency of mach3 as it is PC based and USB or Parallel port.! Lot of people say that it may behave funny in the middle of a project and it may ruin the entire job..!

which can be caused by slight voltage spikes from nearby high power accessories like VFD or Motors. And relying fully on PC for CNC operation is not recommended. I am so worried about all these..!

I am not sure how much immunity against such HF-RF Noise shielded cables can offer..!


But dedicated CNC controllers like Masso and RichAuto are insanely priced.! and I don't have access to USA or Euro Based other CNC Controllers here..!

People have also mentioned that If signal voltage is high (24v or higher) It can withstand such interferences..!
But mach3 operates at 5V only..! So there is high chance of signal contamination..!
Is that a huge concern..?

Mach3 Boards are affordable.
But If I cant use them for longer projects, then there is no point in spending money for all the parts which are still expensive..!

I am so worried..!


Secondly,
I have seen in videos that
The baud rate that mach3 communicates at, is not adequate to drive powerful servos..! !
So Only steppers at low power application is possible with Mach3.

That is so discouraging..!


Can you help me?

When the X and Y axis are zeroed, does this disturbed the soft limit positions?

[hanilove]

Hello ..GRBL1.1 axis codes for use on Mach3

[oemeranilkandemir]

Hey Roger, I have a Problem to connect the MAch3 with my CNC Mill.
In the Software i have a movement, but not in the Hardware. Can you help me?

[taster]

Hello Roger, thanks for the great video. I'm having a little problem on Mach 3, My machine moves so slow even my jog rate is 100%. How can I fix that? Btw I also converted my manual mill to cnc like you :)

[jasepotts]

Hi Roger, when I try mach3 on win7 I find little glitches like weird jogging. What version of win do you use? Thanks

[InterdimensionalWiz]

help, ive made a 3 axis mill with a mach3 usb interface. i can jog it arround no problem. is there a free simple drawing program to make gcodes or dxf files etc ... i need a toolchain, any ideas...thanks.

[fvheel]

I am new in Mach3
How do i move the tool to an exact coordinate?
So i want to move the X to exact +100, Y to exact -155 and Z to exact +5 as an example.
I can jog to these coordinates but that is not exact. So how do i do this?
