Hi Graham,
I cannot do G28 X0 Y0 Z0 (go to axis home) as I want to start cutting the next cornice from the point where I stopped as I provision for space between the cornice in the Autocad design, so I guess M1 will then work?
Thanks
Wynand

Hi all,
I cut polystyrene cornices, but how can I modify the G code so that when it is done, it starts at the beginning of the code again and just repeat. At the moment, I would cut one cornice, then REF ALL HOME and start again, so what I want is as follow

REF ALL HOME
My G-code for the cornice
Goto REF ALL HOME

I know the G code for rewind, but my main problem is the G code for REF ALL HOME. In this way I can start a cut and just keep on doing it till I have enough, or maybe put some kind of counter in the code, so if I want to make 10 cornices, I can set the counter to stop at 10? See the machine at http://www.poly-cor.com see the CNC page

I use AutoCad to design the cornice, export TO DXF, load in DeskCNC to generate the G code and then control themachine with MACH3 (Quantum)

Please help

Hi Poppabear, I would like to try the foam screen, but seeing that I'm a total idiot, I need some instructions, I tried to load the .set files in the main MACH3 directory and the bitmaps in /Marc3/Bitmaps, but then I dont see the table bitmap if I launch Mach3 and view/load screen and then choosing the .set file. I also tried keeping it in the directory /Mach3/foam screen 2&4 axis, but then also there seem to be parts missing. The best results I have is when I place the foam screen 2&4 axis in the Mach3/Addons directory, but then when I open it as a wizard, the RESET button does not have the word RESET
Please help
