« on: January 26, 2014, 01:15:10 AM »

I've seen a number of chrosshair lasers mounted on the CNC and seen them jog to the edge of there work piece. But what I'm looking for is the code and the button that once jogged to target I press and I get a GO X <some offset> Y <some offset> ADD tool Radius and auto zero the DRO's.

FAQs / Homing/Limits

« on: January 15, 2014, 02:52:48 PM »

Is there a way to home REF a CNC router table at X+ Y+ rather then the std. X- Y- location limit switch locations. I understand that machine coordinates would be in neg values. Trying this I get a homing/ limit min>max error when a try to ref. the machine.  The odd thing to is that the Y jog direction flips direction after REF axis. I'd assume I would set my limits a neg numbers as well. My table has a 98 inch X axis travel and a 52 inch Y axis. I'd like to park the gantry at the X+ Y+ location as it is out of the way in that corner of the shop. You can see the DIY router table on youtube just seach for "ShadeTreeCNC"   or a link http://www.youtube.com/user/ShadeTreeCNC any help would great!
