Title: Z start height
Post by: Sambonnie on October 23, 2022, 06:03:50 AM

Morning all finaly got a work around to get my machine up and running,

On doing so i need to alter some code in one of the files.

Symtoms

When i start a Gcode of to machine the Z axis comes down to +60mm above the work plane. then the spindle fires up and work commences.
my issue is I have a job thats 100mm thick and i only have 22mm above the material and cutter.

any easy way to change that 60mm to 20mm??

regards Tom

Managed to find the issue and resolve,

On my M6 Start macro the Z was set to Z60. so changed to Z20 can cut 100mm again,

I'd suggest you delete that line of the macro, it will o ly cause trouble later.
