![]() I chased it down, and it's "purely soft". I will have to re-figure the emergency abort switch. The drivers are OK Chinese "gecko-like" drives. There's nothing wrong with the mechanics (except a few injudicious placements of ways and bearings), that can't be solved with adding a few way covers). Yet, it's not a WINCNC proprietary board, so someone must have done. I've done a bit of whacking the bushes, and can't yet find an example of Mach3 on a pci-7200. So, I'm looking at other software solutions. Even legitimate WINCNC comments in a g-code file will crash the job so you can't even put in a clue as to what the tool is, except in the filename itself. This means running a separate g-code file for each tool, even for tiny jobs. However, the biggest problem with this machine is the lousy WINCNC software! It's not only the worst, cludgiest CNC soft I've ever touched, it just might be the worst piece of software, period.įor instance - if you do not purchase the $600 upgrade to support the automatic toolchanger (which costs about $6K itself), you don't get MANUAL toolchanges, either! M6 is simply not supported, and by itself causes syntax errors in the g-code. The prior user had a number of problems, some of which I've been able to duplicate. ![]() I was charged with 'correcting' a number of problems with a ShopSabre 60x96 bed router. ![]() Does anyone here have any experience with running a stepper-based system with Mach3 on a pci-7200 PIO card? ![]()
