Hello Cabinetman to be in the same place as you, I'm just building my machine up, Have got good engineering skills, but will take a while to understand how software works, wi;ll need a few lessons, whereabouts are you based?

I'm based about 2 minutes from Swinton near Rotherham. I have the machine set up, it's just the software (mach 3) is like reading the controls of a space ship. Ok, slight exaggeration but it's a steep learning curve.

I have downloaded a trial copy of vcarve is iteasy to use, agree with your comments on space ship, have tried to look for any training courses but cant see anywhere

I thought some of the Mach3 users might of commented by now, as it's been a few years since I've had much real dealings with it.

I'm guessing you're needing to home the machine, however it's not clear if your machine is setup to use home switches.

It's probably best to post over on the Mach support forum - http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php
However, people will need some details about the machine.

Hi I am not sure what your problem is. But first a link to the machine and a picture of it might help.
Have you seen some of the very good tutorials like these :- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ma7lMocQbv0 there a plenty on the web. Also try and give a good clear explanation of what has gone wrong as crystal balls are hard to find these days.
