General Mach Discussion / problems surfacing the spoilboard.
« on: October 07, 2018, 04:18:44 PM »
Hello,
I just finished reconfiguring my setup. I have a 3/4" MDF sub layer with another on top with t track spaced every six inches along the Y axis. When I went to surface the spoilboard, I set Zeros and proceeded to surface. The spindle went in the direction of zero then started the cut approximately 4.5" from true zero on the X axis. I have reset the machine coordinates thinking they were off and not allowing the cut in that area. The gcode was originated in sheetcam and imported to Mach3 for the cut. This happens with soft limits on and off.
Any ideas as to why? If more information is needed, please let me know and I will do my best to provide it.
Thanks for the help!
