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.

Please see the axis configuration for Mach3 . I share my dropbox folder where you can find the manual I used for configuring the 3040 cnc.

Hi Voltatek,
Thanks for the help, and I have tried using Mach3 with a parallel port connection.
All I get is as soon as I switch the machine on all three motors lock up and the program runs as can be seen on the Mach3 display but no movement on the X,Y or Z.
So I have tried a newer computer using a USB connector, this seems to have fixed my original fault.
Many thanks Len.

When you say 'the control box which comes with your machine' do you mean the big black box with the spindle control and emergency stop (which doesn't work) on the front?
