[A Craddock]

Hi All
I am new to the forum and while I have used CNC in the past ( a small Step4 machine which came ready to run,) I have recently built my own CNC router.
I have installed Mach 3 software onto the computer and slowly getting use to how it all operates with out to much trouble. However I do have one problem that I am having trouble resolving, and that is the Z Axis is moving in the wrong direction. ie moves up when it should be going down and vise-versa. Is the direction controlable from the software or is it a wiring problem. There is probably a really straight forward solution staring straight at me but I can't see it.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks
Andy

Go to the Config menu, then click Homing/Limits. You'll get a screen where you can select "Reversed" against the Z axis.

See the Mach3 manual 5.5.2.1 "Practical trials of motor speed" for another two options.
