General Mach Discussion / 2 weird issues?
« on: August 29, 2009, 06:37:41 PM »
hey all!
i JUST got my cnc working again after 4 months of electrical nightmares
it is a x3 with keling psu/steppers, gecko 203v and a candcnc bob. Im using dolphin partmaster pro and mach 3, both i have purchased.
Today was the first day that i was able to cook up some g-code via dolphin and run it on some plastic! however i got 2 weird issues.
It was facemilling, and mid face milling the z axis hopped up from -.125" to 1.95" (?) when in the code there was NO z axis instructions.
Then, when i want it to cut a circle around the part im making it won't and i just get a "zero radius arcline 38" in the status bar.
Im a newb and can't figure either one out. I have a video to show what i mean but its taking forever to upload.
Thanks so much in advance!
