Related Softwares / Procedure for adding new profile in Mach3

« on: November 06, 2022, 09:11:00 am »

I just added a mister and need to setup a new profile for cutting metal instead of cutting wood. What is the procedure for accomplishing this task. All of my outputs will control pneumatic actuator's. I am using Mach3 and Warp9ESS with Pmdx 126 breakout board.
                                                                Thanks for any input on this matter!!

Thanks for replies and I did figure out how to do this. I just don't have any 3d background. But I seem to muddle thru some pretty simple stuff.

I need to drill a couple of holes thru the TOP side is the reason for this jig. Thanks for any and all help on this matter. Cheers mate.

As has been stated you are surely an attribute to this web sight. You must analyze everything to death. David I like the way you think but I wouldn't want you for my Dad because there would be no way to win an argument with you.

When I load this file into Mach 3 at line at line 6257 I get a message of zero radius arc. What is causing this and how do i correct it? I downloaded this off of the internet so I tend to lean in the direction that there is a problem with the drawing. Thanks for any and all help.
