What is in the Macros folder and where could I get it from again? Do I need to repurchase Mach3?

Hi,

I have a CNCRP PRO machine and I've been using, running with Mach 3 since I built it over two years ago. Everything has been flawless until last night. I got an error message -...

When I go to copy one of the backups it says that there is an identical file already there. The error message talks of a Mach3/macros/ file missing? The backup files seem to be for just the Mach3...

I have a PRO4896 with older rail system and NEMA 34 plug and play CRP800. Machine has been working flawlessly for two years now but tonight the spindle won't start up when I press cycle start in...

I'm not sure if they worked it out or not. I wouldn't let this stop you from purchasing the program - once learned it has been valuable to us and cost effective. I'll see if I can find the post but...

Hi Major - I use mine for work - to supplement what we do in an already productive shop. For me the time building it and getting it running was a cost factor, hence the plug and play etc. If it was...

Right, I did all that when I first purchased Mozaik - my point was that the feature only worked for profile cutting, but for pocketing, like the holes and slots for KD rafix connectors, despite...

What changes to my tooling library should I be making? Glad I wasn't the only one to experience the Mozaik issues. I did use a spacer block to dry run machine so caught the z-error too before...

When I was researching CNC machines about a two years ago, I read a lot of the build threads and problem posts on here. They were very helpful in making my mind up to purchase a PRO4896. Something...

Thanks for the info - pretty cool stuff Kosh. I have a bunch of those tiny precision bits I use in rotary tools - wouldn't think you could in CNC but I guess if speed is slow enough. I've been...

What is involved with the electronics if using one of the eBay spindles - what would I need to purchase in addition to the spindle to integrate it to the CNCRP plug and play system?

Second...

how fast do you run the spindle in plywood or mdf? and cut depth etc before you notice any stress

My machine is working great but my Hitachi M12 lacks the nads for nested cabinet production, so switching to a spindle. This was always my intention, I just figured the router was safer during the...

Don't know about the Nissan NV, but the Ford Transit is crap. The interior space and gas mileage and pep are a plus, but the vehicles are just not designed or produced for the rigors of...

Just curious KMD - what three bits do you use? Also interested in brands and experiences with the tooling. Changing tools is already getting old real fast, so I concur with the ATC. Maybe...

I only have a few month old machine, but have been looking at possible vacuum table project and caught up on your posts from a few years ago it looks like. I too am using the machine a significant...

yes, it is 49x97. My post might not have been clear, but what I meant was you are not going to find 49x121 at Home Depot, nor the lightweight material. Workinwoods - you should be able to find...

I know with older design I had a similar router issue with z axis but I don't think it was 4" - more like an inch or less. I was able to readjust the position of the router mount. I would just...

I've slowed the speed down in Mach 3 and that helped a little. Are there more powerful spindles out there that would work with the CNCRP machine? I realize they make bigger and more powerful...

I can't really specify centers, it's mostly automated based on 32mm construction but I can adjust depth,...etc.. After I posted initially I did go along the lines of your suggestions. I bought a...

I have a question concerning tooling and hopefully someone has a few ideas for me. I am having issues with drilling 5mm holes. I'm using the Pro4896 with a Hitachi M12 Router, Mach 3 etc. I'm...

I was going to take a photo but the one Lee sent you shows everything. Basically you pop out those 4 rubber plugs in the rear of box and attach the 4 hangers with the screws provided. The hangers...

Looking good. I experienced the same issues with the plug and play. Relatively minor from what I recall. I think the only thing I called CNCRP about was just to confirm the 110v relay was in...

Not much you can do I would thing, other than a generator that would automatically kick in. I've had larger problems with PC nonsense. I'm one of those strange birds that has been continually...

I used a laser throughout assembly of my unit and had pretty good success. Bosch makes a lesser expensive ($200) 360 degree laser that works using prisms instead of a motor spinning around. We...

An Update on Machine Issues - The squareness issue looks like it was a combination of proximity sensor adjustment and making sure to go to machine zero each time I load a sheet. I tweaked the slave...

Thanks Mactec - I'd never visited the offset page - still learning Mach 3. I'd figured there was a feature. So I can define G54-57 for different set ups I assume? I'd been jogging the machine...

Mactec - the Z axis moved down on the negative z1.5 rapid move. I zero my z on the top of my workpiece and any negative z movement is cutting into board so I think I'm set up right. The rapid move...

UPDATE TO THE UPDATE - I figured out the Mozaik issue - as with most of my problems, its usually something I missed. I was setting all the variables for a 1/4" compression tooling but the program...
