I just bought CNCPRO and this is my first time on this forum. There was no documentation with this program. What I need to know is what format do I use for a...
Mike, there is a text file with the program that can be read with the program or a DOS text editor. It's a little disorganized, but mostly complete. I have...

I am new to CNCPRO. I was under the assumption that this was both a turning and milling program. Its beginning to look like it is just a milling program here...
This was a very stupid thing in CNCpro. It was programed to use P as the holder for the tool number. Use G43 P1 to make a tool change for tool #1. I had to...
The M6 is what will sent the machine to the tool change position that you told it to be in the config menu. The G43 P## is to set the tool number, just like...
Thankyou all for your help. What I am most interested in is how to set up CNCPRO for 2 axis lathe opereations. How to set up for Z X turning and how to set up...
I use an IBM laptop on one of the systems I use. The parallel port is at a different address than the standard on (it is NOT hex378). Check the documentation...
I'm having problems using my 4th axis in an angular mode. My previous experiences have all been treating it as a round linear axis. I'm trying to mill four...
To be honest, I can't seem to think of why this would happen. I use a regular sherline rotary table, and made a mount to use my y axis motor on. the only...
o.k., this may help some people who have had recent problems (past 2 years) with keyboard freeze ups. this problem would have been noticable on some older...
Hi Doug, It's nice the bug is finally fixed but I'm not pleased at all it slows down the maximum velocity. Is it possible to make a parameter in cncpro where...
Thanks for the suggestions and support. I found the source of my error to be in my worm wheel gear. Seems that while the technique using a tap for cutting (and...

If you have limit switches on both ends of the travle in all axis then you tell the software with end should be the 'HOME' position. when you first turn on the...
Hi folks, I am trying to use a G00 command followed by an xyz point, e.g., G00 x1.9871 y1.5000 z0.0000 as the first line of the program. When I go to Execute...
Joe, are you saying that the program only omit the first line start with G00? And after that everything works normal. what drivers are you using to drive the...
Joe, sounds to me like the X axis motor can't handle the rapid (G00) rate and sits there stalled. G01 rate is no problem. Are you using full step, 1/2 step,...
Rich, you da Man! I sure didn't apply Occam's Razor on this one! I kept thinking that I hadn't messed with the program setup for quite some time but I guess I...
Morning all !, Interesting that this came up as I have experienced the same problem and found the same answer, so my question is can you get the motors to...
Mark, Rapid is rapid. What is fast rapid? :-) You will have to play with the acceleration setting on each axis to find a reliable rapid at the fastest speed. ...
