Hi guys,

I'm using Mach3 and Sheetcam and my rapids are way slower than when I move manually with arrow + shift. Since my arrow- shift speed is fine I guess my motor tuning is ok and it must be a...

Thanks a lot.
I bought my whole router ready assembled with spindle and VFD installed. Has been working properly for over a year now so connections should be fine.
But ok then my question is...

Thanx Al, very clear. I guess I need to find out how many poles my spindle has? Or is that usually 2 poles for a typical 3KW spindle?
What would be the formula for more poles?

Hi there,
I started working more with aluminum recently and want to get feeds and speeds mu ch better. I found a good online feed and speed calculator but I don't know how to apply it to my VFD and...

Hi guys, thanx for your advise.

Hello,
I purchased a Sheetcam license with a dragknife option and was able to use it for some hours. Then after importing a new file (that was probably scaled too small) I tried to create the...

Thanx a lot Gerry, problem solved

Dear aargh,

I finally had some time to follow your suggestion. Actually there were already some plastic (HDPE ?) strips glued on the table. So the machine is probably designed with the idea to...

Thanks for your reply.
I will check more thoroughly if it is repeating exactly.
Will also check if it may be the T slot profiles that may be mounted badly or deformed. They are aluminium, which...

Hi Jeff,

Hi Jeff,
Am I right that you have the same USB controller card?
Could you send me a screenshot of your port settings?
Can the problem be caused by in or outputs wrongly connected to the USB card....

Jeff,
Unfortunately that didn't help neither
I find the term 'External motion' rather strange though. Is it really about the motion controller?
And how where you able to provoke the message on...

Hi Jeff,

Just tried another cable but no luck.
With RMAd I guess you mean return to sender for replacement? And wait a months or 2!
No other suggestions?

Hi Jeff,

Sorry, seems like your reply only appeared just now, must have overlooked it.
Anyway: it is Mach 3 Version R3.043.066 Just like in your image.
I see you are able to recreate the same...
