On the MDI screen is Local System Rotate, just enter 90 (or -90) and that should do it. Please be aware that your datum will also be moved.

As far as Mach3 is concerned G20 and G21 are modal commands so it is good practice to always include the appropriate command at the start of every Gcode file. This is usually one of the jobs of the Post Processor.

I am pleased that you have found and solved the problem and I am sure you have learned a lot about Mach3 & Gcode in the process. That's really what CNC is all about - learning

Hi Pudly123,

In the line N1 add  G20 (and save the change).

The Gcode will then run in inch units.

It should be noted that the G20 / G21 commands (which switch between Imperial and Metric units) are modal - they will stay in effect until such time as they are changed.

Ooops !

I have now reduced the Z plunge depth and feed-rate of the Scorpion file - hope that works better for you.

Hi Pudly123,

Your Gcode is not correct (as far as Mach3 is concerned).
 
Basically the G28 has it’s own feed-rate and you cannot have a G00 on the same line.

Delete the G00 from lines N154 and N156 and insert a new line N153 G00

Can you zip and attach the problem Gcode.
