OK, so I am really NEW.
Mr Hood, helped with my last question, and since then, 40 videos later as well, I am running good CAM software with Mach 3 post.
So to get my machine up and running, I designed a simple circle I want to do a facing operation on. I have max cut depth at 0, as I basically want to skim across the top to make sure all is well.
I am running the CAD program, and the CAM in MM.
So I designed one file where the circle was 151mm, and once uploaded into Mach, it is many times bigger than my table when I click that view.
I first suspected it may be in CM, so I went back and did the same file, but now in 15mm (just in case it is CM) and while smaller, same issue.
I do notice, that when I start Mach 3 in MM, and load the file, it goes to Inches. Then I type in G 21, and it goes back, but makes no difference to the massive work piece I have according to Mach 3. A little frustrating in itself, as I started in MM, and expect it to stay in MM.
So even if it was 15'' for some unknown reason, it should still fit on my table.
So am at a loss here, looked for the issue, and not really finding anything of note.
It will end up being simple I am sure, but it is only easy if you know how.
Help!
