Hello all
This is my first post - so you know I am a real noob :-)
I am confused with the Z axis zeroing and direction of movement: (I will use this with a router)
In Mach 3 video - it was recommended to set the max value to zero and the min value to the actual travel of the z axis. The example was -200. So I understand the logic is to home the z axis to the top as a safety issue. So when cutting a job - I will jog the z axis down to the work piece and zero it - then to cut the material my logic says to put negative numbers. (say -0.1)
However on the sample programs, I see some positive numbers and when trying to execcute - I get the soft limit warning.
In the Multi pass wizard - (which I will surely use) all the numbers are positive again, and the video says to put for example 0.75 as a negative value
Can someone please help me understand this issue ?
Cheers
Isaac
