I just purchased the same machine. Mine works work good. Have you had any luck with ours??
My son has a Sherline 2000 CNC mill that he uses a lot and he's crashed it more than once! So I thought it would be cool to make a virtual machine in Solidworks.
I'm having a problem setting it up....
Now that's pretty cool! I love Solidworks and it's endless possibilities. Great job on modeling, assembly and animation! I like your style and design for the table, how big are you planning to make...
As someone had mentioned I had the drives to close together and wouldn't dissipate heat very well and couldn't agree more.
Here is a picture of the first one I made;

Great layout! Considering you have the PC and drives all in the same case. I had the same thoughts, but my concern was heat buildup between the motherboard and drives. Also I wanted ease of access to...
Thanks wizard. I'm using a pendant from vistacnc.com which has an e-stop on it but in picture 4 you see the 5 rca plugs, the top row is for the X, Y, Z limit switches. The second row is for the A...
Thanks Devastator! I think you're right about the drivers being to close. I'm going to redesign the plate to separate the drives further apart for better cooling. Air filtering is part of the...
I've had this old Dell Dimension E521 for quite sometime now and wanted to turn it into a CNC control case.
I have fabricated, welded and powder coated for many years and thought this would be a...

Hey Gerry,
Awesome work on the 2010 Screen set!! I've watched your videos and read the manual several times but it doesn't say how to input the two signals (that I'm aware of) for the probes. I'm...
Interesting read. Mogal, I bought the same package you have 3 years ago. Set the package up and it ran great with velocity set at 120, and acceleration set at 8. It ran great, smooth, fast, and no...
Thanks Gerry,
I like the Mach3 Aqua but your 2010 screenset fits my needs a lot better so I purchased it this morning. Can the buttons be modified to look like the Aqua?
I have the same type...
This is a little off topic and do apologize.
A little trick I learned a long time ago is transmission fluid!!! Yes, transmission fluid! Think about it, your transmission is probably the most...
Thanks Gerry,
"Auto Screen Enlarge" was checked but "Hi Res Screens" wasn't so I checked it. Problem fixed.
Again my bad, just had another PICNIC!!(chair) I downloaded your "Router" screen set...
In my opinion Bobcad-cam has a high learning curve ( takes a good while to learn it proficiently) compared to other programs that are more user friendly and a lot better end support. And a lot...
Thank you for the response Gerry,
The example I gave in the first post was the table I'm planing to build. What I'm using for now to setup and learn how to use Mach 3 is a Sherline milling...
The simplest answers can make you look foolish!!
It works!
Thank you
Hello everyone.
Being completely new to Mach3 and having so many questions to ask, I don't even know where to start. I'd like to keep this thread based on a Newbies question and the right answer....
I have a similar problem, I set up Mach 3 in Windows 7 and I can't tune the motors using the Motor Tuning and Setup dialog, The motors do nothing when I move the Velocity slider as described in the...
Hello again everyone,
Like Stephan, the answer I got may not help too much but I won't really get a chance to see if I can resolve my problem until the weekend. But at least it's not the same...
Hi Stephan,
I apologize if I gave the impression that I was IMSI- bashing, I'm not at all. I've use TC since V6 and I wouldn't even think about using anything else. I reported my situation...
Stephan,
I've used TC for years and think it's a great program. But TCC is something else!! I use TC 14.2 Pro and TCC 3.5 plug in and it will crash everytime I use it, when it does I have reboot...
Hi Folks,
I have had Turbocad 14 Pro Platinum, with the CadCam plug in for some time. I've been with TC since V7 Pro and have loved it. So when I got into CNC, it was only natural to get the TCC...
For some reason I can't tune my motors using the configuration dialog. I can load a file and everything works great. I can use my Pendent and everything moves. I followed the manual exactly as it...
That's sad, the video cuts off after 1 minute of running. I loaded it from their website and the same thing...Bummer!

Well it's all coming together. The board works great! Right now I'm tuning the motors to the Sherline milling machine using Mach 3. The Vista CNC pendent works great! Maybe soon I can start building...
Thanks Lee,
The wife says I'm only allowed one mistake a day, so I'll have to wait for tomorrow for my next one.
I wanted to start this thread as an apology!
It also refers to the thread "DB25Wiring"
I got my C10 break out board yesterday and was noticing how the jumper blocks were set and something...
