Sorry I accidentally posted this in the Mach4 and it seems like I can't move or delete my post, so here it is again.
I have a weird problem.
I am using Mach3
My machine is Imported from China and are normally working without problems.
It came with a Gage block which is 15mm and I also got a script for the "Auto Tool Zero" from China which have been working for the last year without any problems.
Then today, I used it as I normally are doing and it is coming down to hit the block and then going up again as usual, but when I run the job the bit is 20mm over the surface of the material???
So then I went into "Offsets" and the number for the Gage block height are not 15mm anymore and I haven't changed anything at all.
Any way when I try to change it back to 15mm it will not change or accept any numbers???
Another question I don't fully understand:
Under "Offsets" there are 2 places where you can set the height for the Gage block - Seems like one is "Current work offset" and the other one is "Active work offset".
What is the difference? and do I have to set the height in both places?
Hope my questions makes sense.
Thanks
