Hi,
I have been misusing Mack3. I just started setting G54 and G59 values. When I set G54 X and Y by the buttons on the Offsets page, the values are negative (Meaning the table must go in the positive direction to achieve a zero, zero (0,0) position.
But when I go to MIDI page and enter "G0G90G54X0Y0" the table moves in the exact opposite direction than it should. My gauge is 0.0016 inch and I have a 1/8 inch tool. The offsets for X and Y are both set to -0.06266 which seems correct (The head is exactly that far off the part ZERO, ZERO (0,0) point. But, as I said, when I enter "G0G90G54X0Y0" to set the table to (0, 0), the table moves the head to (-0.12516, -0.12516) and Z offset is corrupt.
Since I know where X=0 and Y=0 are located, I can move the table to correct location using MIDI page. At that point, I have to reset Z value.
Anyone have this issue or know how to change Mach 3 to set values correctly?
Thanks, CES
