Problems with a new 3040 machine

[Lennewton]

Hi Ravi
Sorry for not replying sooner but have been busy machining parts for my gas turbine.
I see you have carried out some serious mods to your machine and I am pleased you have got it working.
I have downloaded Mach 3 and connected it with a parellel port, the only problem I have now is the emergency stop won’t let me do any machining as it comes up with emergency mode active when I connect to the CNC controller.
The only reason for using Mach 3 is I have an old boxford TCL 125 lathe and a
Wizzard 2000 st engraving machine to hopefully get working and I would use the Mach software for all three machines.

If I don’t get any luck with the software I’ll ask the question on the forum.

Many thanks Len.

Toggle the active state for Emergency Stop in Mach3 to override that.

Thanks I’ll have a go at that.
Many thanks Len.
