Re: Probe calibration error.

Yes Dave,

You are right !!
Changing 3.0 to 34.9 solved it.

I , mistakenly, thought that the probe sphere diameter had to be there.

Thank you for correcting this.

The Renishaw MP 11 probe works fantastic. It is a bit too big for my mill, though.

Probe calibration error.

Hi Dave, I Use a Renishaw MP11 probe on my mill. Works like a charm! However, during the calibration cycle ,at the end, I get an error message. TipDiamDelta > MaxDelta (2.5400) check input parameters. I do not understand this. In the Tool Table I entered the probe tip diameter which is 6 mm. How can...

Re: Touch Probe Recommendation

Hi,
I moved from the Wildhorse to a Renishaw MP11 probe.
Also because of the difficult aligning of the tip and poor repeatability.

I made a straight shaft adapter for it with a 16mm shank.

I have not yet mounted it as I am waiting for the 16mm collet to arrive.

Re: Step Jogging can not be selected.

Hello Dave,

A re-install of Mach3 solved this.
Just to let you, and other members know what the problem was.

Re: Step Jogging can not be selected.

Hello Dave, I spend an hour or so Googling for this also on the Mach3 forums. I have this pendant (Chinese of course) , USB PENDANT FOR MACH3. That pendant is probably the cause of my problem, there are other brands causing this too. So, your advice of reinstalling both programs makes sense. For the...

Re: Step Jogging can not be selected.

Hi Dave, The Jogging , Cont and M buttons are Green. As per page 43 of the 2017 manual. Clicking on any other button does nothing. The % value I can change. The Step value I can not change. I can type a value but on Enter the value jumps back to 1.0000 . This situation exists longer, but did not dis...

Hello Dave, After almost a year of not using my mill I have been checking and re-calibrating my SX3. I use Mach3 Ver. R3.043.066 and MSM Ver. 2.0.6 Professional Edition. The problem is that I cannot select Step Jogging nor select any of the other buttons in Jogging Control Panel. When I push the Shi...
