Just picked up a Taig mini mill

[DoctorCheney223]

Hi,

I just picked up a Taig mini-mill to do engraving on guns. I am an 07FFL/02SOT holder and manufacture AR15's, AK47's and other weapons but they need to be engraved. My partner had a New Hermes engraver but I wanted to do something better and purchased this Taig with Mach3 software.

I know there is a lot to using this system but this is where I am at so far. I installed the software, rebooted the system and hooked up the control box to the Taig. I opened the Write wizard, inputed the text. I try to input values (seperation, depth) but if I put a value (example: +0.200) in the seperation and go to the next box to insert depth, the previous value returns to zero.

Is there a video tutorial on how to use this machine to engrave? I hope this is the correct forum to post this and apologize in advance if it's not.

Sincerely,
Ron

You need to hit "enter" after entering your numbers. This goes for any DRO in Mach3 that let's you enter numbers.
