General Mach Discussion / Resetting home x and y after big crash.
« on: October 21, 2011, 02:30:29 PM »
I left my CNC running while doing some v-carving of text.  When I came back it was jammed in the back corner and digging into my tabletop big time.  I’m not sure what happened to make it cut almost 1 ½ “ deeper than it should have been cutting… shame on me for not watching it.   I can jog it fine but it thinks machine zero is out in the middle part of the cutting area.  Even though I re-zeroed the machine settings to the corner it still shows the bit location in the middle of my cutting area.  How do I get it reset?

Thanks!

General Mach Discussion / My x 'zero' changes on me!!
« on: September 01, 2010, 07:12:31 PM »
I'm new to CNC and Mach3 and I'm frustrated with my x axis changing (my rout gets off and if I 'go to zero' the x is off.)  It happened earlier after the central AC in my shop kicked on.  The router rpms dropped momentarily and the pattern was obviously off after that.  I ran the code again with the AC, dust collector and air compressor off and it did it again!  This is the third time out of a dozen attempts that it has occurred.  Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jim Williams
