Yeeeeeehaaaa!! Awesome, it just dawned on me that I forgot to redo my limits after I calibrated, now all is good.  The code wasn't to big, the table was to small.  I'm a total dunce.  Thanks for your help though man.

Do you think its the Code?  I have a mach3 MM post-processor so it seems like the code should be right.  Ive run the code offline and everything seems great, It's just way bigger than its supposed to be.

Something must have reset when I tuned my computer off.  Your code does now move the machine 10MM:)  But my tool-path is still massive.  Is there anything else it could be?

Oh sorry, its a G21 not a G20 at the top right

5
MM is selected

Steps per in the motor tuning is 200

No LED flashing

And Yes there is a G20 in the #s  at the to right


Thanks for your help man, I really appreciate it:)

No, still 10.5 inches.

So tried re-calibrating and nothing changed.  It asked how far I want it to move, I put 5 which I assume would be MM, and it moved 5MM so I put that in when it asked me how far it traveled.  Then it said that it would change it to 200 (steps a minute I think) and I said OK.

Am I doing that wrong?

Cool, I'll try re-calibrating and let you know

I put in the code but like you said it didn't change anything.  I put that G-code into the MDI though and my machine went 10.5 inches!!!!!  So something is definitely wrong there.

Here it is, the G-code is attached as a PDF, I guess the forum cant upload a .cnc file.  There is no G21 at the beginning although I tried to put it after the % and regenerated the toolpath but no luck.  Where do I put the G21?  And yes I set up Mach3 for millimetres and under the settings tab it is set on MM.

Thanks for your quick reply
