Charlie, I use your Auto-Z ALL the time. A really nice feature is during an op that requires a toolchange, while the program is paused, I can change out a tool in a collet, Run the Auto-Z to set the tool length, use the arrow keys to move around and/or issue commands, and when I hit cycle start, the tool returns to the next step in the program from wherever, just like it was never interrupted (not having an ATC). You have saved me HOURS of time with your help. I look forward to editing my screens, because this vid is a wealth of info, and I have downloaded it for a reference. Personally, I think Mach3 is great and cannot imagine Acorn or LinuxCNC being better in any way. And this vid just makes it better! Thank you.
I love your way of explaining and I like to see you making video about how we can setting up a fixed z probe in mach3 which it go automatically measure z axis on a fixed z probe thank you very much ❤
Always best..! Please do More Mach3 Specific Videos targeting Router Guys like US. I would shamelessly beg for more such free information..! Those are Precious GEMS for people like us.!
@@sunny5rising Not only I enjoy them.But I am planning to build my wood working career around such Automated rigs. Mach3 is my go to. I really appreciate the effort.
Yet Another Request, Suppose I have a Laser Beam attached next to the Spindle to Set X,Y Origin. A a macro to set the laser point as X,Y-0 for the spindle. I think We can write a Code using relative co ordinates right? I have somewhat an idea
I suggest one another project of an Ultra Modern CNC Interface Screen set. Without annoying unwanted buttons or retro colours. But keeping Specific Most Frequent Controls in Home page My ambitious plan is, To Build a Control Panel and GUI just like Haidenhain/Sinumerik-1..etc Such modern looking HD GUI with only essential buttons in the Dash Page and all other buttons and Controls can be populated in other pages Still trying to figure out how to change the Background Images and Button Graphics and Custom Illumination Options for LED's No big success yet..LOL
@@sunny5rising One of the good things I love about Mach3 is the level of adaptability it offers at that cost...! decades older technology but still it is a desirable even overkill for traditional wood shops. Once I got it syncd for my CNC Router, I will make dedicated rigs for my Mortiser Rig, Automated saw...etc.
I suggest a project Explaining the Tool Change Macro with only 2 or 3 tools listed. From Starting to End. I have not still been able to understand that core concept yet. If you are interested in future, may be..! Below concepts are still unclear at least to me..! 1 Saving the Point at which the Spindle Stopped, when a tool change command is found in Gcode, to return after changing the tool..! 2 Combination Of "T" Number and "M6" and "M5" Codes , How it is executed..! 3 Setting Tool Change Locations 4 Docking the Old Tool (Its Location and Movement during and after that) 5 Getting the New Tool (Its Location and Movement during and after that) 6 Drawbar Operation Concept 7 Length Compensation..etc I think it is a vast subject for a series of Videos..! Not easy I know..! I hope more people are interested in such information from knowledgeable people like You.! Spoiler alert..! By the way I don't think that I am going to fully understand it even if you invest some valuable time for that..!
Hi Charlie, how can I contact with you directly ? iI will need some help with few custom scripts for Mach3 and maybe you will be able to write and help ?
I am Thinking that Using the old parallel port is much better than using USB..! I don't know how right I am..! Such a thought in mind that parallel port is much more immune to external High Frequency Noise from VFDs/Spindles/Motors..etc I have seen videos where people say Ethernet controllers are not easily available here in my region.! or skyhigh expensive..!

Excellent! Glad you are getting good use of the Z script. I agree, Mach3 is great and the customization is awesome.
I love your way of explaining and I like to see you making video about how we can setting up a fixed z probe in mach3 which it go automatically measure z axis on a fixed z probe thank you very much ❤
Thank you, and thank you for the suggestion. Just added it to my 'to-do' list.
@@sunny5rising thank you and m waiting for it 😁
Always best..!

Thank you. I got ya. More videos are coming. Glad you enjoy them.

Wow..! Glad to see You Back.!!! Your Tutorials were GEMS..! Educate us more Please ..! Followed..!
Thank you. Glad you enjoy the videos. More are coming.

Me complace mucho ver sus videos y su risa contagiosa.
Estoy buscando la manera de hacerlo para un torno🙏🏼💪🏼👍🏼👏🏼
Thank you. Yes, you can edit the lathe screenset. The original lathe screenset name is 1024.lset
Hi
as usual, your videos are very interesting
can't wait for the next one

Thank you! Glad you enjoy them.
Yet Another Request,
Suppose I have a Laser Beam attached next to the Spindle to Set X,Y Origin.
A a macro to set the laser point as X,Y-0 for the spindle.
I think We can write a Code using relative co ordinates right?
I have somewhat an idea
Yes, a macro can be written for that.
I suggest one another project of an Ultra Modern CNC Interface Screen set.
Without annoying unwanted buttons or retro colours.
But keeping Specific Most Frequent Controls in Home page
My ambitious plan is,
To Build a Control Panel and GUI just like Haidenhain/Sinumerik-1..etc
Such modern looking HD GUI with only essential buttons in the Dash Page
and all other buttons and Controls can be populated in other pages
Still trying to figure out how to change the Background Images and Button Graphics and Custom Illumination Options for LED's
No big success yet..LOL
I have some of that editing included in "Screenset Editing #2" video I'm working on.

Some of that information I should be able to do a video on. I'll add this to my video list. Thanks for the idea.

I have heard that with USB, but I have no experience with it. My experience is with parallel port for my CNC.
