Ha! This is the video that saved my ass and a crap load of time! RE: Zero machine coordinates from start of build! Thank you sir for your problem report. Most people do videos on how to change and setup but they assume your already up and running.

nice video but some of us have some other E stop probems that are not goin away wit just a click, i did find the E stop problem twice ,will make a video soon, thanks for all Your videos they help a lot

Great video, I have a 3020 china cnc without limit switches. You have answered many questions. 480p resolution is hard to read the script. I would zero my bit on my part i need to cut not realizing when done the cnc would go out of limit and make a really loud stepper grinding sound and i would just hit the emergency stop function.

Hi, I have a problem with the mach 3 program. It always fits me on line 500. Do you know what the problem is? Have you encountered such a problem. Sometimes the program will not load the entire G-code, but only one part.

Made all the adjustments as detailed in this video. DRO moving ok. However, my motors still are not moving. any ideas?

So usefull ! Thank you

thanks, As always, well explained.

Very good explanation of basic functions. Could you also provide some configuration of MPG pluged into socket with 10 pins please ?

building a cnc plasma, i’m getting all the electronics put together 1 axis at a time. Motors function properly when using the mill profile, but no matter what i try i get no moment from the steppers when i switch over to the plasma profile. I’ve been pulling my hair out for hours now and i cannot figure out why. Any ideas?

Hi am Edward from Zambia am using cnc plasma cutting machine

I am trying to install a touch plate with the probe setting. However I am having the digitize light on all the time. This is true even with nothing in the breakout board on port 1 pin 11. When I take active low off the digitize light goes out but I am still unable to make the touchplate work. Even disconnected completely from the machine the digitize light is on. Any suggestions?

I have China 6012S but Y Axis problem 90mmx90mm Area Clearance toolpath, the machine 90mmx178mm, it's Oval Shape. How can I do, Sir?

my MDI is not working. I am writing G0X20 as you, but there is no move or number change in the screen. Both X and Y axis. what can be the reason ?

Help! I've been using Mach3 for years and am fairly familiar with it. Yesterday I set up to do a chamfer on a round part. The DRO is zeroed and my cutter is indicated in to the center of the part. The crosshairs in the Mach3 display show not centered on the image as you would expect. The crosshairs are up towards the top of the circle. I try to run the program and the chamfer starts at the top of the circle but tracks way off when it starts the outer diameter of the part. Never seen this bug before. Any suggestions. No offsets are set on the offsets page.

What could be the reason for why Mach3 is rejecting my values for motor tuning

Good morning. How would I change the DRO to read mm, as opposed to cm? For example. If in the MDI I tell it x10 ..... I want it to move 10mm, not 10cm

What is the most likely cause of Mach 3 freezing up half way into a mill job?

I put a new drive on my "Z" access and now "Z" keeps going when i push a direction.. push oposite direction will slow and stop it and then revers direction.. what is the problem?

Hi i made the simulation. The bags are going through a moving parts (conveyor giving the bag to right or left). But after 10 min (total simulation takes 40 minutes), the moving part in the simulation stops. Why do you think I am having this problem?

Hi, I have a 3040 and every time I press the home button for the machine to go to zero. it does pause and move again all the way back every 1 cm. Do I need to change anything in the settings? Thanks for your help.

can i use usb cable only to run mach 3 interfaceboard from XP windows?

i am checking to see if you can tell me what if anything i can do to turn on my spindle . i am using a china 1020 cnc with a 4th axes i have put the s1500 m3 in on mdi and it still doesn't turn on , i have also tried different rpms i double checked ports and pins every thing looks right .maybe its something simple i'm missing.

i put pin 2,3 for x. motor x can start. I try to put pin 0.0 in the computer sotfware mach 3 settings with the cable still on pin 2,3 in bob mach3 the motor is still on .. where did it go wrong?

Sir could you kindly help me cause am facing problem inserting values into motor tuning

How to fix "Driver Watchdog Triggered" ?

can anyone help me, my X axis is in inches and Y is in mm. how can i make both of them in mm. tried several things but to no avail.

My laptop have RJ45 connecector and mach3 also have RJ45 connecector so what settings required for my mach3, I have i7 laptop and windows 10 installed

i just got a 3040 machine and every time i load g code into mach 3 the location to cut on the model is wrong and it tries to cut it ultra small . can someone help me figure this out please?

"Zed motor"..?

This audio is horrifying

12mm plate am not cutting through

I have a problem with mach 3 . To this day everything worked fine and I didn't touch any parameters except the tuning motor Now, when I click +Y on keybord or touchscreen the machine goes to + a couple of times and then it goes to - the same thing happens with - Y X and Z axis work Ok

Mach3 is good cnc software but people dont know how to use it right thats why they have problems or using cheap computers using for everything as well.
