I am trying to cut channels in my CNC spoilboard to install T-Slots. I did not expect this to be difficult but have wasted more time than I care to admit trying to make it work. I keep getting stopped with an error message "X axis commanded over SoftMax". I am using Aspire to generate the toolpath and I have probably tried 10 different approaches to resolve this without success. My spoilboard is 61" wide, but I need to travel farther than the width so I can cut a clean channel. The machine can do it, but the software will not allow it. I have to believe there is a simple solution for this, but I am an admitted newbie and have yet to figure this out. I only have one T-Slot channel in the file figuring I can easily duplicate it once it is running correctly.
FYI;
Aspire version 11.016
AVID Post Processor 3.0
Router AVID Pro 60120

what so hard? change on controler only for the job then re

KCA,

Go to Configure then Control.
Go to the Homing/Softlimits tab.
Turn off Soft Enable.

Thank you for your help! Your solution was what I was looking for. I tried it and successfully cut all the channels I needed.
