Hi I need some advice. When using V carve desktop I input the material dimensions, design the drawing and run the tool paths save the g code and take the code to the machine, set the zero position and run the program. The problem is that the drawing is not in the right position on the material when it cuts. I hope someone will understand what I an trying to say and be able to help. Thanks

Hi
I want to thank all of you for the help. Just to let you know that I am 72 years old and just build my first machine (Dave Gaton Sidewinder). I do Have the manual but did not understand the formulas to set the pulse rate. I have taken Rich's advice and know the machine is cutting the size that I was expecting.
Once again Thanks for your help and understanding.
