> I'm looking for some help with the Mach3 Wizards so if you consider yourself a "Mach3 Wizard" no pun intended, could you please point me in the right direction for some documentation on the individual wizards, or maybe some tips. The problem is that I don't know enough about all of the settings such as "plunge depth" and other terms. I have mastered drawing a circle with a pen with the "circular pocket" wizard, so that's something! I was trying to draw a circle this evening with the "Shapes" wizard but the bit kept wandering off - I'm not sure where to start the tool (where to put zero x and zero y) - in the center of the circle, or some point off the center - see how much I DON'T know! Thanks for any help you have to offer. An offline email would be fine if this is too elementary for the rest of the group.

As others have suggested look at the mach1mach2cnc group on yahoo, but
it might be better to go to the www.machsupport.com forum. There is one
specifically for the wizards, see
http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php?board=3.0

I am now doing the support and development for the newfangled set of
wizards. One of the changes I have started is to add help screens to
many of the wizards. Ive also added a Power Feed wizard that simply
works like a mill power feed, and a new teach wizard, I think I'm going
to name 'CopyCat' All of these are posted on the forum.
