General Mach Discussion / Re: axis calibration problem

« on: June 02, 2011, 07:07:26 PM »

I found my problem. It wasn't a mechanical or mach setup problem. It was a dumb ass human error. I put my center point on the peace I was cutting in the wrong place in relation to my model's center point. OK call me a dumb ass. Plus it wasn't a 100% calibrated. It's all good now.

Thanks for all your help

I just re-calibrated the X axis again. Not sure if the size of bit I'm using would make a difference, using a .25. I'm measuring from the center of the bit it seems like I'm off now by 1/8". I'm moving 8" x+ back to zero it's good center to center of bit. I've marked a board with  an 8" mark. Going in the negative direction it lands on the outside edge not the center off bit, so I got an extra 1/8" .

I have checked all the mechanical stuff everything is tight. It cuts small parts very well. It only happens on larger cuts. I'm using threaded rods & nuts.

Don't know if anyone has had this problem. Searched the forum didn't find anything. My problem is with my X axis I calibrated it. It's good in the positive direction but in the negative direction it's out by about 1/2" more negative. If anyone can help thank you.
