Do you know where I can obtain a copy of the Mach3 software disk that came with my 3040T. My machine is several years old. The Dell computer I was using died and I have misplaced the disk.
Hi Alex, sorry to bother you, but did your cnc work ok from setup? I have just bought a cnc 6040 from China and am having problems with the stepper motors. They work fine using the arrow keys on my keyboard. but when I add a Gcode (roadrunner) and run, the stepper motors hardly move and make a horible noise, and the Gcode looks to be running fast. My computer has onboard parellel port and is running windows 7 pro. No matter what I do I can't get it to work using Gcode. I just wondered if you had any ides? it would be really appreciated. Thanks, Terry.
Hi, which software are you using for generating G-code? I think problem is there , please go to '' tools database '' and check ''Feed rate '' for tool which ones you using , I meant check rate units , if is ( mm/sec ) try to change to ( mm/min ) or reduce feed rate . Let me know if that will help .
Hi Greg, Thanks for the reply. I was nearly pulling my hair out over that road runner not working. I eventually got my own gcode and it worked fine. I couldn't believe it. I have done a few things with soft wood and am now going to try oak, do you have to have the settings different with a harder wood. Thanks mate, Terry.
Hi Alex, So sorry mate I missed your comment. Thank you for your relpy. I found it was the roadrunner gcode that was the problem. My own gcode works fine. Thanks again, Terry.
May I ask how loud the engraver is... I live in an apartment building and would like to make a few carved cutting boards but am worried about my neighbours or should I find a workshop to set it up? What would you recommend? Do you happen to know if there is any software compatible with Apple? Or would I need a Windows laptop/computer? If you would like to answer me personally - please feel free to contact me on Facebook - What would you recommend me? I would like to buy the 4 AXIS CNC Engraver Router 3040T Wood Cutter Drilling Milling MACHINE 400W.
I just got 3040T also. Can you please help me. I having a problem to install software come with machine. I already have Mach3 install. But how to run this machine on Mach 3. Thanks,
Hi Alex! I wanna order this cnc in aliexp, but i need work with 60 mm thickness plastic, is it can work with 60 mm material? What is the maximal space for Z axis? Thank you!!!
Hi, is how do you connect the cnc to pc? via usb or lpt? i have the same one and lpt and mach3 isn t working. i only can run via usb and "usb cnc software"
Guessing your endmill bit is an upcut... Use a downcut bit with either 1 or 2 flutes to eliminate tearout (the "fuzz" at the edges of the cut ;) )
LOL on the old Teletubbie background as it brings back memories. Luckily these are now USB so no longer need XP and LPT.
@Kameron Apollo I keep reporting you bots as you are all over the place.
Do you have the plug-in for this machine to work in mach3. Do I have a similar one?
Dats correct work holding

Hi Alex did you have to build this yourself i'm looking at the dq, and was unsure of the way its delivered assembled of self build. cheers
No, I got this one already assembled
How loud is it? Do you think it would annoy neighbours operating from inside a garden shed?
Yes I need to know the same? Do I need ear protection? can I operate it in my living room with dog in the room?
Need to know it too, too noisy for a flat? I see it's less noisy than vacuum cleaner...

That one on video was connected by parallel port , but now I did upgrade for bigger one and new one run via USB and control by CNC USB controller
@@AlexM-yi5ix could you please tell me, which Pin is in which number on parallel Port? I tried everything, but it didn't work on Mach3! Thx!
I have manual for setting mach3 in PDF format , where I can send that for you
@@AlexM-yi5ix could you please send it to michat32@gmail.com. Thx!
I did send that for you
Does there come with a file for setup Mach3 ?
too slow for the wood
ArtCam cost $
Search in google , possible find for free
Quality looks like crap!
He is using the wrong type of bit for the job
