You are a gentleman for sharing your videos to beginners like myself, I am a retired toolmaker and have used a large cnc mill but I just put in the measurements from drawings which my boss drew up , I know have to learn cad drawings for myself to make simple items . What simple cad software would you recommend . Ernest
Hello, thanks for the information. I would like to ask if a Windows laptop would work as well and how to physically connect it to the CNC machine. We have a 1300mm by 2500mm CNC 3D router and we want to control it with a software rather than the richauto a11e hand held controller
Hi Roger I use mach 3 and was wondering if you stop the process 3 quarters of the way through is there a way of making it run the selected programme in reverse rather than having to start it from the beginning? Thank you
Hi Sir, I can see you are an expert..! I hope you can help me..! Can you demystify some of my worries..? There is lot of confusion regarding the reliability and consistency of mach3 as it is PC based and USB or Parallel port.! Lot of people say that it may behave funny in the middle of a project and it may ruin the entire job..! which can be caused by slight voltage spikes from nearby high power accessories like VFD or Motors. And relying fully on PC for CNC operation is not recommended. I am so worried about all these..! I am not sure how much immunity against such HF-RF Noise shielded cables can offer..! But dedicated CNC controllers like Masso and RichAuto are insanely priced.! and I don't have access to USA or Euro Based other CNC Controllers here..! People have also mentioned that If signal voltage is high (24v or higher) It can withstand such interferences..! But mach3 operates at 5V only..! So there is high chance of signal contamination..! Is that a huge concern..? Mach3 Boards are affordable. But If I cant use them for longer projects , then there is no point in spending money for all the parts which are still expensive..! I am so worried..! Secondly, I have seen in videos that The baud rate that mach3 communicates at , is not adequate to drive powerful servos..! ! So Only steppers at low power application is possible with Mach3. That is so discouraging..! Can you help me?
nice video, congratulations, is it possible to connect the laser to the Mach3 USB Controller, if possible, what should be connected, I have a router with a Mach3 USB Controller and I want to add a laser, thanks
I just got a new CNC machine table and a new WINDOWS 10 computer, I just downloaded Mach3 to my computer, do you know how to get Mach3 to get my CNC machine moving?
I am new in Mach3 How do i move the tool to an exact coordinate? So i want to move the X to exact +100, Y to exact -155 and Z to exact +5 as an example. I can jog to these coordinates but that is not exact. So how do i do this?
Thanks very much for your informative video! Can you please tell me what software you use to generate the nc file for the circle (eg simple tool paths) and what is the software you mentioned at the end to do the relief (you say it quickly and I cannot understand).Thanks.
help, ive made a 3 axis mill with a mach3 usb interface. i can jog it arround no problem. is there a free simple drawing program to make gcodes or dxf files etc ... i need a toolchain, any ideas...thanks.
Hello Roger, thanks for the great video. I'm having a little problem on Mach 3, My machine moves so slow even my jog rate is 100%. How can I fix that? Btw I also converted my manual mill to cnc like you :)
Sir why you not reduce feed rate 20% because before video you reduce feed rate, please explain details reason, if we use 100%feed rate what will difference both Engraving, 100% and 20% feed rate please explain 🙏
Can we convert DXF or DWG files to .Emil or .gcode format? Any idea how this is done? I don’t want to fiddle around with gcode manually, auto generation is better for me. Great video by the way, thanks for posting
Yes, you need Carveco Maker. I have videos on my channel for ArtCAM / Carveco My CARVECO 5% discount code is ROGERWEBB5798 (ONLY AT THIS ADDRESS BELOW) store-us.carveco.com/?ref=B40mt_z8N7xiu
I use Win 7, you can use Win 10 "IF" it is on a Win 7 computer, Mach works with a 32 bit system. Get your machine checked out, and don't use it until you do.
Hi roger, I have ventured into the world of CNC routers. I have purchased a machine and have had loads of success. Although when it comes to 2.5D carving my machine tends to slow right down. I’m assuming it’s because of the capabilities of my z axis. My machine can run at 6meter per min while roughing ( not using z axis) but will slow down to 2 meter per min while z axis is constant. I was wondering is this is Normal or if I am missing something. Oh and before you asks I have set my speeds and feeds to well above what my machine and handle. And always set my z axis speed to the same as my x-y feed rate. I thought that all axis with function at the same speed. Any help would be awesome. My machine is an axiom ar8 pro plus v5 In case you were wondering

hi adam, know any free software for design and g code? ive got mach3 to drive the machine, but what to design on...for free?
Thank you so much for this great video and for being so kind

Hi Ernest, go to my channel page look for *fusion 360* for free.
Thank you Mr. Webb..i really like you mill cnc,..
You are welcome!
Will I be excited to hear your thoughts on Mach4!! Hope you have already made the move
That will be coming next year
Next video we expect increase, zoom to monitor key, pad and others digital comand promt ,reset ,resume, start ,apply etc thx
thank you from Mongolia it is nice tutorial for me i just staring beginner
thanks for the video. MSG clearance what does it mean? is there some where can I find abbreviation.
Fantastic video. Thanks, Roger.
Very welcome

You will need a Mach 3 CNC board (USB) fitted to your machine. I have videos on this, have a look at my channel

Hey Roger, I have a Problem to connect the MAch3 with my CNC Mill.
In the Software i have a movement, but not in the Hardware. Can you help me?
Yes I can on Patron

I just got a new CNC machine table and a new WINDOWS 10 computer, I just downloaded Mach3 to my computer, do you know how to get Mach3 to get my CNC machine moving?
You need a Win 7 computer with a 32 bit system to run Mach 3, its ok for that computer to have win 10 on it
I am new in Mach3
How do i move the tool to an exact coordinate?
So i want to move the X to exact +100, Y to exact -155 and Z to exact +5 as an example.
I can jog to these coordinates but that is not exact. So how do i do this?
I will make a video on this and put it up on my channel this week ok.

Hi, I have a video for you ruclips.net/video/YJm5fTQshFw/видео.html
I want to run aspire file saved in mach 3 I don't know which file support mach 3 how it basic I want to run first time my CNC machine
Maybe, Gcode mm (tap) file will work
Where can you buy good clip art for your CNC

Hello ..GRBL1.1 axis codes for use on Mach3
When the X and Y axis are zeroed, does this disturbed the soft limit positions?
No it doesn't;-))
What patron level is the plan's for the c n c build

are you using window xp sp2 professional.. can it work in that
Yes and yes!
Thanks.. i shall try this.. My mach 3 xyz stopped moving in windows 7 64bit. I dont know cause of it. was working before though

Hi Roger, when I try mach3 on win7 I find little glitches like weird jogging. What version of win do you use? Thanks
I use Win 7, you can use Win 10 "IF" it is on a Win 7 computer, Mach works with a 32 bit system.
Get your machine checked out, and don't use it until you do.
how to configure the hot key when there are no response with my key board to the Mach 3
Maybe a new key board
Hi roger, I have ventured into the world of CNC routers. I have purchased a machine and have had loads of success. Although when it comes to 2.5D carving my machine tends to slow right down. I’m assuming it’s because of the capabilities of my z axis. My machine can run at 6meter per min while roughing ( not using z axis) but will slow down to 2 meter per min while z axis is constant. I was wondering is this is Normal or if I am missing something. Oh and before you asks I have set my speeds and feeds to well above what my machine and handle.

Any help would be awesome.
My machine is an axiom ar8 pro plus v5
In case you were wondering
Hi, go into Mach3 settings, motor tuning then raise the acceleration figure in the Z axis only.
@@rogerwebb9600 I’m running uccnc but I’m guessing it will be the same deal. Thank you for your reply Rodger. Keep up the great work
