I am running Mach3 with Ashburn's breakout board on a bridgeport mill.
My problem is -- I cannot control the table movements from the keyboard. I can load and edit programs using the mouse and...
Lonewoff55,
Thanks for the link, it explains a lot-- I thought the <PE>E had more significance when finding a fuse..
I guess the "T" should have been obvious -- meaning time delay.
I sure...
Can anyone tell me if this is a slow blow fuse?
Where can I find a replacement fuse for a Bel 1A 250v circuit board fuse. Other markings on the fuse are <ps>E, Jet, T12A 250v
The fuse is rectangular measuring 0.326 x 0.158. The pins are 0.024...
I need help on a bob I bought from Darek several years ago. Is he still active on this board? Does anyone know this present email address?
Thanks

Tom,
Hope the attached will help.

Tom,

I am running Mach 3 . I have been getting lost in some parts of the program, that is why I need the commets.
My understanding is that I can add a comment at the beginning or end of a line of g...
The comments are for personal reminders as to which set of fixtures in a setup pertain to the g code lines.

How do I add a comment in a line of g code ?
Thanks

I have a different situation which I think would benefit from a parallel port adaptor “T” plug.
I would like to access different pins in the printer cable for use with other hardware without going...

I am running Mach 3 on a CNC Bridgeport. I can run a G code program but I do not have any manual control over any axis. When I tab for Jog Screen I cannot change the increment for the jog or the...
Thanks for the offer, but I would like to try the upgrade myself.

Chris,
This is my first experience with CNC.
I do not understand how to generate the G codes. I cannot transfer a dwg. file into Mach3 and have it write the G code? What CAM program would you...
Can a Mach3 system provide the accuracy the machine is capable of and will it accept dwg. files? From what I read on their web site the system is more for art work?

More pictures of ES board and serial #/part #.
Table speed pot does not change table speed and zero in all axis cannot be changed.
Any ideas why the K10 has been disconnect on the ES board ?
I...
Thanks Cutmore, the machine does run. I have not found any numbers on the readout which indicate what Boss it is.
AJA
Thanks for the info. According to that info. I have an older Boss machine see attached pictures. Does this vintage of the Boss determine which system I buy for an upgrade?
AJA
I am new to this forum and am even newer to the cnc world. I now have a BP Series 1 cnc and have no idea what vintage it is. It does have a tape reader and a fixed head. How do I determine which...
