Thread: Mach3

Setting up Mach3 is easy enough ', on the mach3 web site there is a pdf that runs you through it

You wil need the pin configerations from the manufacture of the "BOX " that drives the stepper motors

What make and modle? What size is it? Is it a china cheepy with the dreaded china motor drivers with no info on how to conect to mach3?

A photo of the controller box is needed

Thanks for your reply

It is a China machine a "J CUT" with a cutting bed of 1800 x1200
The previous owner was drilling holes in alli flat bar using a G code program on a spread sheet.

I am renovating my home and want to make some round door frames and doors , also a curved wine rack.

I am a Cabinetmaker ( getting on in years ) and have had experience with cnc machines some 15 years ago.
This machine came with an old version of Lazy cam installed, was wondering what is a reasonable cad program that will write G codes.

I will check out the controller box and post a picture.

Many thanks
