General Mach Discussion / G code
« on: October 14, 2008, 09:23:22 AM »
Hi,
I am new to the forum and just started using Mach3 with a Minitech Mill. I have some major issues.
Whenever I use the wizard to cut a 2 inch pocket, the z axis will not move down, but up (away from the part). This happens whether the z is set to + or -. I have to manually edit the g code to achieve a cut.
My second issue is the diameter. Whenever I put a 2" diameter in the wizard, the mill only cuts about 1.75. The g code actually ends at x=0.9675. I have tried to draw a 2" pcket in AutoCad and import it via LazyCam into Mach3. Same scenario, the g code ends at x=0.9675.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Hille
