Thank you very much for your help Gerry! Greatly appreciated! Thanks again.

[UPDATE] Also - you helped me to finally realise that the 'speed%' value IS the 'homing speed'! I had initially and...

Hi all. I'm starting to get my 3040Z-DQ machine to behave properly with Mach3.

I notice that the jog speed (for every axis) is wonderful for a motor tune velocity of '150' (which is in the motor...

Update: After some tinkering of my 3040Z-DQ, I found out (from internet searches) that the Mach 3 software can indeed be used to produce a PWM signal signal from a parallel port pin of a desktop...

That's the main problem. There appears to be descriptions of ideas or methods associated with modifications to achieve spindle control via software (eg. Mach 3 control). But the described methods...

Me too. I bought one.... a 3040Z-DQ machine. I keep hitting barrier after barrier. I have that black coloured controller box, the one where you plug in all the connectors, and it has a parallel port....

Thanks ger21! Thanks to you, Al, dharmic, and HW for helping me out. Today, I realised that I didn't have any idea how an open-loop CNC machine accurately controls position. After trying to think...

Hi all! I'm new to CNC machines, and have been searching the internet for details about how common (typical) CNC machines based on stepper motors control the x, y and z axis positions accurately. So...
