In my experience, stopping and resuming a program in Mach3 is pretty much playing Russian roulette. Most of the time it works, but sometimes it just blows its brains out.
I have been running Mach 3 for years and sometimes I need to stop during a cut process or may get a false Limit trip. So I will deal with my issue and use the "RUN FROM HERE" feature and away I go! So sometimes I have had the issue when using this feature and I hit "Cycle Start" the "Z"- Axis for reasons I do not understand will travel up to Max travel and hit the Limit switch. Can someone tell me why this is happening and how to stop this?
Thanks
Steve in Maine

It might have something to do with your Safe Z settings.

It has never worked for me. I don't try it now.

It's worked fine for me every time I've ever used it.
Might be an ESS issue, as I use the parallel port.

Thats one of the reasons I switched to Mach4, 3 has those little quirks. Its Not Warp9 ESS as it does great on 4.

Just because it works in Mach4 does not mean it works in Mach3. Two different programs, with different plugins and firmware for each.Its Not Warp9 ESS as it does great on 4.
