Well they are showing the true Sizes... the 3 Inches in lenght of the bigger part being cut is done perfectly is the width the one that is giving me all the trouble, the part measures 7 15/16 inches x 3 inches ... Will post the Code in a sec not in the machine right now but they are going to send it to me.

Regards,

Roberto

ON the axis giving the error Double check the coupler where the motor Mounts to the Ball screw shaft. MAKE sure they are TIGHT.

Your code is giving you these dimensions. The Y axis is moving a total of 3.3inch so if you have a 0.3 dia cutter(I use metric but still seems a strange size even for imperial ? ) it will be exactly 3 inch however the X is moving a total of 8.2375 so with a 0.3 dia cutter  you will end up with 7.9375.

Roberto,
How overeall width of the piece that you are cutting.
Can you post the gcode of the piece? In fact, one each with the different feed rates.
Don't think Autocad is your problem.
What program are you usiing to generate the gcode?

Robereto,
I assume this is the piece.

Looks like it's cut just the way you coded it. The width is 7 15/16" (7.9375").
Red is cut piece, yellow are z moves ( circle is 0.300 cutter), dimensions in white

Hey Hood,
All my re-sharpened mills are weird sizes post resharpening them.  ;)

Hi Guys,

Yes the 0.3 difference is the tool offset so as Rich says those are my measurements so they are good... But I am getting 1/16th inches added there somehow... Gcode is generated by LAZYCAM.

Any ideas? Will try checking the machine but all looks perfect!!

Thanks

Sorry I need to read properly, I was thinking the part was meant to be 8 inch and it was cutting 7 15/16 . I gotta learn to read :(

Following up on TP's posting you could also check for backlash in the leadscrew, leadscrew moving in the thrust bearing, leadscrew nutplate loose in it's mounting or anything else that has worked loose on the axis drive chain.
