General Mach Discussion / Engraving, need to center work and don't understand.

« on: February 25, 2007, 05:52:08 PM »

I'm planning on engraving some parts that I make. All these parts are exactly the same size and shape.
I worked all day trying to figure out how to center some text on my flat workpiece. I put my work on the bed and fasten, then zero the x and y and z but then I'm lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Everyone,

   New user here and I"m missing something and can't find it. When using my milling machine
the text that is being engraved is being cut from right to left, I would like it to be left to right.
Can anyone give me a clue how to make this happen? I really appreciate your help.

I found the problem, I check for past postings about the same problem and found I needed to
go to config/ports & pins/motor outputs/Dir low active for x axis and check for opposite of what
is was.

Thanks
Geo
