Re: Ref All button only works for X

Dave, Thanks that clarifies the issue. I have just had to replace my pc with a replacement unit when the old one went belly up and I was debating whether to try and anull the registration on the old one to transfer the 'pro' licence across - or to just install the latest version in a personal versio...

Re: Ref All button only works for X

Hi Dave, Just been spending a lot of time uprating my Turn system which is based around an Emco 5PC, mach3 at version 066 and MSM pro, 2.0.9. All things (well within the occasional quirks of Mach3) have been running happily for the last year or so but I have now chosen to move away from the parallel...

Re: Setting up multiple lathe tools - being dim!

Dave, What I mean is that selecting either the "X then Z" or the "Z then X" option has no effect on the actual Ref Home action . My carriage does X then Z whatever option is chosen....and I have just checked to make sure this is the case. BTW, I have the Pro version so it is not ...

Hi All, I am being very dim at the moment trying to setup a set of 5 interchangeable toolholders on my lathe running MSM Turn (not mill-turn) and I seem to be going around in circles. mach3 is at 067, MSM version is 2.09 Can anyone give me a step by step sequence, ideally using the reference point a...
