If not take a screenshot and circle what exactly you are wanting. Let me know if this is what you are talking about. Looks good, hope it helps with your OCD, lol I like numbers and once I looked at Mach3 like an excel spreadsheet it got much easier for me, except for the code.

Here is a video that turned out longer than I expected that will show you how to download and install the screenset and a brief example of what you can use it for. I was able to do some of it myself by downloading and looking at other screensets that people had posted. Warp9 Tech Design - Home of the SmoothStepper.

That is correct Sir, never messed with Mach3 until about 3 months ago when I ordered my crossfire, most of the credit goes to one of the users at machsupport forum that showed me the code to use for what I wanted. A new lathe appeared in the shop and is taking a lot of time.

It would be interesting to see others screens that you have modded if you would share, I may find something else that I need on my screen.ĭropbox Link to the same files. I will put them here and try to download the files also but you will need to delete the. Hope that you enjoy this if you try it, it has been fun and frustrating trying to get it working like I want. Under the Feed Rate I put the Jog Mode button there to toggle between Cont and Step, mainly because I got tired of having to hit the tab button to change it. You can also clear out the numbers when you turn it on in case you want to run a program without your torch and see how many pierces or how long the torch will be firing to check your duty cycle time. If you are one that has modded your screen already and have added any code into your m3 or m5 files then you may want to just copy and paste the code into your already modded files. There are 3 files that you will need to download, the first one is named Modded Plasma. This is only used for calculating the estimated machining time.This is the latest Mach3 screenset that I have put together, it shows a pierce counter and a timer that keeps track of how long your torch has actually been firing. Select Set to enter an actual feedrate value for rapid motions (G0).

This is the Transfer (Tf) feedrate (in Units/Min) used for Transfer motions. If you select Use Rapid, a value of 200% of the current Cut Feed Rate set for the operation is used. Note: The Transfer feed rate is ONLY used for calculating the estimated machine time. Note: For more accurate machining time estimates, use the Set option and enter the feed rate to use. If you select Use Rapid the posted G-Code will output a rapid motion (G0) with no feed rate. The is the feedrate (in Units/Min), when the tool Departs from the material. This is the Retract (Rf) feedrate (in Units/Min), when the tool is performing a Retract move away from material. This is the Cut (Cf) feedrate (in Units/Min) used when the tool is Cutting material.

This is the Engage (Ef) feedrate (in Units/Min) used when the tool is Engaging the material just prior to cutting. Approach motions are dependent on the method of machining. This is the Approach (Af) feedrate (in Units/Min) used to prepare the cutter just before it starts to Engage into material for cutting. This is the rate is the feed before the tool starts to engage in material.
