Problems understanding why my X and Y are coords dont = mill ?
So this morning I decided I wanted to play a bit on the mill, I am still thttp://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/board,1.0.htmlrying to learn Cam, Cad and CnC so please forgive if this is an obvious duh moment!
So, I am in BobCam, I make a box (120mm x 60mm) , I put a pocket in the box (100mm x 50mm) , I export to Gcode.
I open it up in Mach3 , I home the machine, then I Zero the work piece. and then I click start.
it seems to plunge into the work piece about 3mm (as it should), then it cuts the Y axis. iy goes from 0 to 48 (ish)
then it starts to travel to X 97 but I dont want it too, I want it too move about 10mm over, then travel to 0 on the Y.
Kind of like you see in the picture.
But as I am typing this, it looks like its trying to up to 90 and start from right and come back?
So its starting to look more and more like I still havent figured out my zero'ing problems. which historically is always been my problems with all my posts.
