Sorry I'm talking rubbish....it's the x axis that's miss counting, the z axis is fine......I think I should stick to flower arranging and give this techy stuff a miss..!!!!!

In addition to the above I have noticed that the tool path lines shown on the part display are above the stock and not below it as with the offline version of Mach3 I use. The carriages do move in the correct directions when a programme is run, however the diameters achieved on thepart are incorrect due to the above problem (I think)....all a bit strange and very frustrating.......

FAQs / Z Axis Double Counting

« on: May 08, 2010, 09:24:24 AM »

Hello,

Wondering if anyone can help. The Z axis on my lathe is double counting in radius mode and quadruple counting in diameter mode. i.e. if I measure the z axis movement 5mm actual, the display reads 10 in radius mode and 20 in diameter mode. The x axis is fine..? This problem just appeared this morning.

I'm a bit new to all of this so I would appreciate any help I can get....!!

Fraser.
