General Mach Discussion / Wrong working order when offsets used
« on: September 17, 2006, 10:43:18 AM »
To all,
When i start a job in Mach3 and use an offset (e.g. x-50, y-50, z+10) the program starts by lowering first the Z-axes and then it moves the X and Y axis.
To my view this is the wrong order because now the bit can run into the clamps that are holding the workpiece.
Am i doing something wrong, or is there a setting to make the program first run to the x,y coordinates and then lowering the Z-axis and if so where is it.
All help is appreciated,
Greetings Carel_CNC
