Hi,
I have generated a half sphere using BobCadCam and posted the g code to the controller of my mill, a Tormach 1100. I am having a difficult time understanding where to start. I have zeroed x and y at centerline where I want to start and zeroed z off the surface at a safe distance. When I press cycle start the table moves to a point way off from the centerline so I know that I am doing something wrong or not doing something right.
If someone out there could give me a step by step synopsis of how to go about setting the offsets and whatever else is necessary to get this thing working I would appreciate it very much. As an aside the thing that I am making is a pocket in a piece of steel to use as a swage block for my blacksmithing hobby.
Thanks in advance,
ErnieD
