No it is just on G54 work offset.
But there is nothing in the g code telling it to change work offset.

It seems like it has put itself in incremental mode instead of staying in absolute mode and reversed from negative to positive movements.

I have just changed both the x and Z motor drivers, still the same.
I tried a different Acorn control board, still the same.
Going to install a different version of software.

After the eratic moves it just stops when it reaches the x axis limit. Then the software freezes.
Even if i press cycle cancel while making eratic moves.Then the software freezes and i have to re start the software.

I changed the x axis motor driver and made new connections on the X and Z axis encoder wires thinking that it could be a bad connection on the wires. I disconected the encoder wires on the turret motor driver and set the driver to open loop thinking it could have errored out the turret motor. Still ...

Did you set up tool 11 in the tool offsets page? And set up the Z part zero with tool number 1 and tell part Z zero that you have used tool number 1 to set the part zero to the end of your part then update the WCS.

The graph looks normal. The g code looks ok when i look at it in edit. I dont think it is the program g code. It has something to do with the tool change that it doesn't like. It only goes wrong on the second tool change. It changes to the correct tool for the first operation then only on the second...

I have CNC 12 V5.08 It has been working correctly until last week. It runs the first program ok then after a tool change it runs the second turning cycle which are all created in conversaional programming. The tool changes and rapids to the start then it randomly steps off in the X positive and Z po...

All sorted now

I will try it tomorrow. Thanks for the info i didn't want to damage the Acorn board.

I need to connect a cycle start and feed hold button to my cnc lathe.
Do i just connect a momentary push to make button to one of the inputs on the Acorn board?
Where does the other side of the switch connect?
