Well, i am not very well versed in Mach as you can tell, I can't get it right. It just keeps on moving my work farther out on the table.
Guess I will keep doing it the long way.

What works is it homes in the center of the Y axis but still only cuts to one side, it basically moves my cnc file over 11 inches, i want to the Y to move left and right of the 11 inch mark, not move the work further out on the table

General Mach Discussion / Y axis help

« on: March 25, 2012, 12:28:14 AM »

I have a 24 X 48 mill with a safe working area of 22 X 44, what I am trying to do it to start my cuts at 11 inches on the Y axis to make it easier to cut 2 sided files, I would like to set the home at 11 inches on the Y axis but am unsure how to set mach up to do this.
This way i can mark the center of the piece i am cutting and can just flip it over to do the backside.
Any help would be appreciated
