Title: Need some help having a weird problem!
Post by: dodiano on January 23, 2007, 03:20:47 PM

Hi there,

 I have been cutting some Plastic pieces with my machine using MACH 2, now I use some Enco bits which have been cutting fine and I know my offset for the tool is 0.15 inches... Somehow I started cutting a piece taking into account the offset as always and it basically was off on all sides by 0.125 inches! It happened before once machine cutted a different measurement after I reset it and turn everything off all of a sudden cuts back again as it should!! ANy ideas?? Hven´t tried recutting the part.

Regards,

Roberto

Are you using G41/42, if so have you got a G40 at the end of the program.

Sound as if you should be trying Mach3.

Could you please update your machine to Mach3. It is getting hard to trouble shoot mach2 at this time for problems like that.

You can have mach2 and 3 on the same machine with no trouble

Thanks
