Hello, Do you still have those old V-Con parts available?
Hey, my mistake here. I thought this thread was about the implementation of a fixed (as in bolted down) "Tool Change" touch plate in Mach4. I've been waiting a long time. I've been using one for the...
Hello, I don't think we're talking about the same thing. If we were, then you would be ordering TWO touch plates, one movable for zeroing your stock and one plate that is fixed/bolted to the side of...
Hi Marv, I just read through the User Manual for the AvidCNC version of Mach4. It appears that they DO NOT have this feature. They ONLY provide a Tool Change location, NOT the additional fixed plate...
Thanks Gary!
Hello, Just saw this thread pop up and had a question about touch plates and tool changing in Mach 4. I'm running Mach 3 with the 2010 ScreenSet by Ger21. I love the Semi-Auto Tool Change feature...
Thanks for the reply. Your response at least give me hope that it's possible. I'll keep digging.
Hello,
I just saw your old post here. I'm looking at purchasing a Denford Startum 4 lathe. I'd like to run it with mach3. Did you find a good resource for information? Thank you.
Hello,
Does anyone here know if Mach3 can run a Denford Startum 4 lathe? If so, can you point me to a place that might have information on what's involved in getting it converted/setup? I've...
Hello, I have recently started using Fusion360 CAM. I select the Mach3 post. The 2010 Screenset seems to function as expected. Are you having a particular problem?
Hello, For 2-sided wood and plastic projects, I use wooden dowel rod that I buy at the hardware store, in 3 foot lengths for a couple bucks. 1/4" or 3/8" are nominal sizes, so I just measure them to...
Hello,
Although I personally have not had the chance to use these FREEMAN products myself, I have heard good reviews:...
Hi Gerry,
I've been enjoying the use of your screen set with my CNC router for several years now and really like it. The Auto Zero/Manual tool change feature is my favorite. However, I just...
Thanks guys.
I'll investigate a little deeper and see what I can find.

Welcome Aboard!
Go ahead and post some pictures as you are building the base. We've seen some pretty unique table ideas here.

Hi All,
I'm just getting comfortable running Mach3 with my new CRP 4x4 Machine. In general things are working well. I've had some good and repeatable experiences cutting quite a few 2D parts. So...
Hi All,
I'm just getting comfortable running Mach3 with my new DIY CNC Router table. In general things are working well. I've had some good and repeatable experiences cutting quite a few 2D parts....
Gerry,
Thanks for taking the time for that very clear explanation.
This stuff is actually starting to make sense and sink in. I guess putting in the hours with the machine, experimenting and...
Hello Everyone!
Been away for a while just getting used to working with this new machine (CRP PRO 4x4). In general, it's running GREAT!
Did some test cuts, cut a few things for friends,...
Why Marshes? Would lacquer spray paint work?

[That seems odd to me; I'd look for another explanation. After all, the program can use mm or inches, and has no internal check to see which is being used for a given operation, so 20 inches would be...
Hi Richard,
Looks GREAT!
How did you get the black in the cuts?

Hi Andrew,
My mesh reduction tests were inconclusive, because the tool path calculations never completed. I had to cancel them before they finished. I let one go for almost 2 HOURS before I killed...
Hello and thanks for the reply.
I understand. I have worked with these meshes previously for purposes of 3D printing. I use the "Mesh Reduction" command in Rhino on those with great success.

Hello,
I'm looking for some advice regarding efficiencies when computing toolpaths for dense meshes.
I have some models containing no NURBS, just dense meshes derived from grayscale images....
Yes sensors are CRP. It appears to sense about 8mm. Very consistent. One feature alone that makes these nice is the ease in which they can be adjusted. The threads are quite fine so they can be...
During the last few days I've managed to get my control box panels designed and cut, assembled, and back in working order. Also did some much needed wire management.

Thanks everyone for that quick little discussion. Sometimes even the simplest stuff can be confusing.

Hi Gerry,
Got sidetracked for a few days, but had time last night to disengage the motors and test. Yes, they are homing independently.
Thanks for your help with this.

More progress!
Installed the Mach3 2010 Screenset from ger21, and fabricated some hardware. After first tests, things are working great!
