mapping the leadscrew
Mapping the leadscrew, how does one do it in Mach3? I couldn't find anything in the mach3 manual, but then I might be using the wrong search term. I have heard it is a long and laborious process, but I have also heard it is worth it to get a nice accurate machine.
Machine is a "Joe" style machine that is currently being updated and modifies. Current screws are acme 1/2-10, these will be changed out and will be replaced with either acme 1/2-10 2 start, or nook .631, .200 pitch double nut ball screws (rolled screws). (I'm leaning towards the ball screws now that I know what my tax return will be).
If possible a step by step process would be preferable, especially where the mach3 data input is concerned (unless it is so obvious a 6 year old can do it).
Thank you
If you cut it to small you can always nail another piece on the end, but if you cut it to big... then what the hell you gonna do?
