Hi Trisdan,

I think you need to set your work offsets to zero (then regen toolpath to see the changes) if you want the program limits to show just + and - 13 etc.

Thanks Russ.

I am going to make a framework, on wheels, for mounting this engine and just had the thought that this could be the fastest stationary engine in the UK.

Great suggestion Brian. 

Do you think my Z Axis stepper may struggle a little with the +Z moves ??

Trisdan,

Your code is OK and the extents are + and - 13.0000 for both the X and Y axis (see pic)

Are your work offsets set to zero ??

The story goes – “You know you programmed that card, well could you just do a couple more” ??

Could it be something really simple like the tool is not properly locked into the collet and it is working it's way out during use ?
