Understood - thanks; I'll see if I can get an acceptable workaround / different way of doing things in the meantime. At one point in the past, I considered adding this to MSM. It's been long enough now that I no longer remember off the top of my head how I would have done it. I do remember deciding ...

Hi Dave, I've got a little confused on a TLO setup, and was wondering if you could help. - I've used a probe, calibrated from a ring gauge and minimal runout (works great on it's own). - I've used manual TLO's by setting TLO's at a common part Z0 and manually entering the TLO's into the tool table (...

Hi Dave, I had a quick search, but couldn't find my answer to this on this forum. I have started making a batch of parts on a variety of fixture plates which can have anything from 3 to 30 units. I've programmed the part in CAM (Fusion 360) and it posts the part multiple times in G54, G55... etc. Th...

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this... Here are some photos of the E-stop setup I use. I have the "Reset Mach" soft button in MSM... this enables and disables the charge pump to the PMDX. I do not use this an an e-stop. I have the physical button on the iMach3 pendant, this ...

Has there been any movement on this on the 3 years since last time this topic was broached? MSM is brilliant and makes Mach3 a joy to use. However, I'm tied to Mach3 / 4 due to using ESS hardware. So... now Mach3 is not being developed any longer and is still buggy, is there anything on the horizon ...

Fantastic Dave.
Yet another reason why MSM and your support are the best.

Cheers,

Hi Dave, Is it possible to disable the spindle for specific tools? I am installing a nice Tormach touch probe, and want to set it as my master tool 0. As it's a wired tool and connected to the mill I'd hate for the spindle to start under any circumstances. Is there a way to define a tool to "bl...

Hi Larry, I've just bought a very very similar unit; it arrived last week. $65 shipped I think. Includes the air blast. I first saw this functionality on the Tormach one, but it was too pricy ($900-ish I remember). Mine did not have an LED; but this is not important to me. Mine was just 4x wires. Tw...

Thanks Dave.
There are suitable hardware e-stops implemented already; it was just this interaction of the Mach3 E-stop causing issue.
After a bit of thought, I can remedy it with a timer relay inline with the SRR.

All the best,
Dan

Hi there, Again I'm not sure if this is a MSM question or just Mach3. If the latter, please ignore. I've posted in Mach3 support forum also. Is it possible to customise what happens when Mach3 is E-stopped / reset, either via software button or via hardware input pin/switch? I think currently when i...
