G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / reset home with G code
« on: July 06, 2008, 08:16:09 PM »
Hello all,
I'm a newbie to Mach 3 but have been very impressed. I am a toolmaker, and have some experience with CNC mills and lathes. So far Mach 3 has been awsome, love being able to tailor everything.
I recently started working on building a 4x4x3' hot wire machine and also purchased a 2x1'x4" router. Programming is being done with Featurecam and/or Mastercam as these are what we use at work. So far there is one thing I would like to do that I cannot figure out...
How can I make the machines reset home position after every run? I would like this to be done with a G-code command that I can just put into the post.
Thanks,
Sam
