Mach 3 and Rotary Cutter

Post by Mtw fdu »

Hey Guys.

Just a quick question please.

In the process of setting up a rotary cutter on my machine but having issues with Mach 3. I have drawn up a file but Mach 3 will not show the pic in the box where the normal picture goes. Is there a way to get this showing at all?

Thanks in advance.

I think I now know why it is not loading. The g-code loads but the pic does not.

You can see the cut path but that is "not" in the x, y, and z screen. I need to move my drawing to that space.

Here is a pic of it.

I will see if I can move it into the correct position.
