Vacuum does not turn off but router does. Any ideas what causes this?

Re: vacuum problem
You will need to post more information about your setup before we can even guess an answer

Re: vacuum problem
I have a digital wood carver. The control box only turns on the router on and off. It is suppose to turn the vacuum on and off but the vacuum stays on all the time.
Wondering if anyone else has had this problem and any idea how to fix it.

Re: vacuum problem
You may have to contact the manufacturer of the carver to get the M code to add to the post processor to allow the vacuum to automatically turn on and off. Incidentally do you mean vacuum for hold down or dust extraction?
Once you know the codes that will be specific to the control unit then you will have to edit the PP to add one code to the header turn on the vacuum and one to the footer for turning off.
