That was absolutely touchable for me and useful. Thanks

Thank you for all your videos! I have a generic Chinese 6040. Just learning about setting the speed and feed rates for different materials. These videos help me to develop self confidence.

Thanks Roger it is simply the best explanation on Mach3 for the new byggeners

[@rogerwebb9600]

You are very welcome

Thank you Sir. Ďakujem super návod.

[@dindodayrit1834]

thank you sir i have solve my problem of the mach 3 home limit and soft limit. and even learn how to take care of my machine with out limit switch. God Bless.

[@revb0]

If I am ever in Antipodes, I will definitely come and shake your hand... very helpful videos

[@user-bw4rr4kd9n]

Great video, if you have disabled your home-limit on port and pins i think you can zero the machine cord on "Diagnostics" tab by clicking the Ref button on each axis.

[@prt2151]

I wish you do another tutorial on homing without limit switches. I hate using limit switches.

[@ianfosterUSA]

This is great, I'll try this as my home built table with mach3 works but can't seem to get the soft limits to take. Hopefully this will crack it

Roger, I really like your work. I have a Laguna IQ HHC I want to add the 4th axis. I already have a post that will work and a HHC controller that can work. Can you recommend where I cab buy the parts to assemble the 4th axis? also it would be nice to convert this away from the hhc.

[@martingriffioen6675]

Hi Roger, I have everything set up nicely as you showed on the video shown. Everything works nicely (softlimits). But then I closed Mach3. Got a fix saved message and said yes. But when I restarted mach3 everything was gone again. Machine coordinate no longer matched what I had set. Is there another way that I do not have to set everything up every time? Greetings from Martin

[@vipulsoni744]

hello.. actually im watching your tutorials since last few days and i am a cnc operator i am designing in a 12inX16in work piece but when i performed the MMG file in my wood cutting cnc the cnc has scale up the size of the working area and working in bigger area then the work piece can you help to fix this...Please i am using Artcam pro 9.

[@American_Made]

I'm still confused on where you start setting up the limits. Do you have to be somewhere close to center of the machine axises when you start? your video seems to jump at about 15min.

[@briangrono7855]

VERY GOOD VID A LOT OF HELP, BUT MY PINS ARE ON DIFFERENT NUMBERS IN THE PROGRAM BUT THANK YOU REGARDS BRIAN

[@tonyn9632]

Hi Sir. Can you program Mach3 to control spindle forward and Reverse? Thanks

[@rogerwebb9600]

Yes you can

[@danni8191]

Can you set soft limits when there are no sensors, and the hard limits are rubber stoppers?

[@rogerwebb9600]

Yes to 1 and no to 2 Pacific Tooling; Australian Inventor Roger Clyde Webb

Thank Sir I will look over this weekend

[@danielallison3540]

Hello what does step low active do?

[@undercrackers56]

The controller sends out signal pulses and to create these pulses the output voltage must be switched between +volts (typically around 5 volts) and 0 volts (or electronically close to it). Active high means use the +volts part of the signal as a pulse and active low means use the 0 volts part of the signal as a pulse.

Mk3 has got to be the ugliest software I've ever seen.

[@rogerwebb9600]

It's Mach 3 and no it is the best software on the market and it looks good.

[@henrychan720]

@@rogerwebb9600 Yeah I know it works great but the UI looks like it cam straight out of 1995 no debate, just like most other software for machines and stuff.
