General Mach Discussion / table coordinates wrong
« on: February 27, 2009, 03:51:54 PM »
Hi. I was just sitting through the first two mach video tutorials, and got to the point where I was ready to set up the Homing/Limits fields for our ROMAXX machine. We have mach in metric, and the bed is 289 x 610. We don't have limit or home switches, so I've linked the machine coordinates to the work coordinates -- I thought that then at the start of a session the machine could be zero'd to the corner, and an offset could be used to position the work piece. When I toggle display mode into table view, this gives an out line that looks more or less correct. However, when I began using the offsets to try to position a job, the units seem to be massively off: the coordinates to get the work piece up to the opposite corner are 7 000, 15 000!
Relevant screenshots are attached.
Any insight would be appreciated
