Mach3 is cutting everything backwards.
Newbie here.....Just purchased Mach3.
If anyone can help, I finally got an item cut out (6" miniature guitar), but it is cut out backwards.
Anyone have a similar problem and Solution?
Thanks for your replies.

Sounds like you have your direciton backwards. G-code follows a standard convention and you will want to learn about the right hand rule to set your machine up properly.

Thanks for your reply, but it's 4 days later and still do not have a clue.
If it helps, I purchased my machine from mydiycnc.com (small desktop).
Generalized answers are no good to this nubie.
If only I can find someone to give me step by step instruction....
Thanks.

Your axis are setup backwards. Go to Config > Homing/Limits and check the Reverse box for the axis cutting backwards.
