Help needed in Lincoln

[Edendale]

I have a 6040 Chinese cnc router that I purchased about 2 months ago and I cannot get it to work,I have downloaded some g-code into mach3 and it just comes up as a lot of circulations and scribble, don’t know what I’m doing wrong, is there anybody in lincoln that could come and sort me out before I give up, I have a cnc laser cutter and I get on well with using no problem, if Anyone can help it would be very much appreciated.

Hi and welcome to the forum. You will need to give more info as to what the problems are. Some pics of the machine and control box would help and what type of controller. ie is it controlled via usb or pp port etc.

"circulations and scribble" doesn't really mean anything!!

ok, this is common with mach3 it's the I/J mode that is wrong. Go to Config/General config and swap the I/J mode. See pic

It is a 1500 watt water cooled controlled by pp
