Re: Mill-lathe turn offset panel problems

My issue no. 2 is still present. There appears to be a mysterious constant that is always added to the Y axis tool offset when the "touch Y" arrow is used. I will email you screen shots to document what I am experiencing. ( your Img is more work than what I want to go through) I can not fi...

I am posting this reply FYI and it might help someone else that has Mach3 problems. I moved from Vista to Windows 7 Pro. and installed a graphics card.

Re: Mill-lathe turn offset panel problems

Hi again Dave I continue to have just plan weird things going on in Mach 3. I need an exorcist! I have concluded that it is just flat-ass unstable.

Re: Mill-lathe turn offset panel problems
