I've ran into a problem and I'm not sure if mach3 is to blame, mastercam, or most likely, me.
The machine is an X3 that I recently converted to CNC.
The problem is that at the end of the operation, the machine decides to go somewhere instead of straight up and stop. The first time, I was pocketing and at the very end the machine rapided to another xy coordinate and snapped the bit. The second time, the machined rapided up, then over and then back down partially into the part, ejecting the part.
So I guess my question is what dictates where the machine goes at the very end of the operation? I don't know what safeZ is. Could that possibly help?
Thanks,
Adam
