Summary: CNC Router Tips Podcast Episode 11: <br><br>How To Set Up Constant Velocity Mode in MACH3. <br>Q: Bill, I got a question about setting your Mach3 acceleration and Velocity setting in Mach3. Should I use Constant Velocity? I also wondered if the A axis and the Y axis settings have to be exactly the same? <br>Show Sponsor<br>The Makers Guide <a href="http://themakersguide.com" rel="noopener">http://themakersguide.com</a><br>Links mentioned <br>International Podcast Day. #podcastday<br><a href="http://cncroutertips.com/" rel="noopener">http://cncroutertips.com/</a><br><a href="http://cncroutertips.com/podcast" rel="noopener">http://cncroutertips.com/podcast</a><br><a href="http://www.themakersguide.com/home/tutorials" rel="noopener">http://www.themakersguide.com/home/tutorials</a><br><a href="http://www.themakersguide.com/home/products/mach3" rel="noopener">http://www.themakersguide.com/home/products/mach3</a><br><a href="http://cncroutertips.com/resources" rel="noopener">http://cncroutertips.com/resources</a><br><a href="http://themakersguide.com" rel="noopener">http://themakersguide.com</a><br>htttp://cncroutertips.com/cncrt09<br>#podcastday<br>TERMS<br>Look ahead<br>Acceleration<br>Exact stop <br>Constant velocity<br>The lower the acceleration of the machine axis, the greater will be the radius of the rounded corner <br>How we do it:<br>In Mach3 you can set the velocity mode to either exact stop or Constant velocity. To do this go to General Configuration Logic the settings tab (page) and look for a button located above the Reset Button which says “Set Steps Per Unit”. Use this button to enter a distance to travel. Measure the actual distance traveled then enter the corrections. <br>Software:<br>If you would like to download a demo copy of Mach3, Check out this webpage.
