I was cutting a gear when something went wrong. The first gear, pictured on the right went fine. The second gear started cutting adifferent pattern. Any thoughts. Thanks

Re: Z-axis error

I homed the machine, moved it to the centre of the machine, set xy to zero. Then started the program. I am using CHIPS, the program terminated before the tool touch off process. It has worked before, so not sure.

Z-axis error <resolved>

Hi,
I just installed the latest version of CNC12, V12.52. When I went to run a spoilboard surfacing program I received "z-axis travel exceeded". It is the same program I ran earlier in the day with V12.5. Not sure what is going on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Chinese VFD to Acorn

Hi, I have the VFD all wired up and I had to change the spindle voltage to 5V and when I tested it with my volt meter I get 12V, Is there a way to force this to 10V? Thanks
