This was great, tha is for making it. If I now turn my machine off and come back, am I correct in saying that Machine acoordinates 0,0,0 are now gone and I need to "home" each time? I have a new machine with no hardlimit switches, I am conditioned to home every start up and let it donuts thing, then head to G54 as a general start point .
I have followed your tutorial, but my soft limits don't work. In the soft limits and homing, I see that there is a check box for "reversed" I see you have this checked, what are these for? Motor reversed??
I did the setup , but when I hit the referee the z start going up to positive indefinitely, the x y z remain in red. Also I noticed that I can't reset the z to ceros. Any clues? Thank as
Good video, wouldn't it be best to move all axis to one extreme first, then zero all, then move all axis to the opposite extreme and enter those figures on the axis DROs as your soft max values - that would measure you machine usable areas in the real world - otherwise you are setting arbitrary or inaccurate values as your max. I am a novice at CNC so maybe I missed the whole point but I am just thinking logically.
Best video on youtube for setting soft limits. Everyone else wants to talk for 20-40 mins
Whatever SoftLimits I set being in zero position, Mach 3 keeps on warning: "Machine out of limits for SoftLimit Activation".
I think the Z axis needs a negative number.

Legend, Thanks for showing it with a real example!
Cheers.
Thanks for showing. Do you happen to have a video or document of how you converted your mill to a CNC mill? Thank you
Greater job sir
Thanks!! Very good. What motors do you use? This work very well and the velocity is very good for this machine !!Sorry for my english.
Great clear video, I missed one point trying this myself, now I'm sorted, thankyou
Great video.. thanks
great video thanks!!!
Very good video, Thanks a lot.
So setting up soft limits will prevent you from crashing in all directions xyz no matter where you set you project 000 start position?
How does it know what an inch compared to 1/2 inch is ?

how to off limit switch triggerd?

Me exactly the same.
could you please explain how to do tool change if you working on project requaierin more then on

Jog what. Jog where. I'm not much of a jogger. If I'm running, I fleeing the cops and sprinting!
Nice video - thanks :)
plss help
