I have an early version of a sidewinder cnc w/ mach 3
I just re set it up and am having one prob after another. My current problem is this. I went to run a simple 2.75 ring program( ran it at least 4 times the day before) after getting the machine going yesterday. The router is supposed to cut through 1/4" material and only cuts maybe a few thousanths before moving to the next outer circle.Mach 3 shows the correct depth per pass but the machine is not doing what mach thinks it is. I can see the z stepper motor trying to turn w no results. When I hit the stop button and move it up and down manually w/ the page up and down button it works fine.Can anyone help, hopefully its a simple fix, This machine is gonna put me in an early grave.
