Re: Issue with outside frame milling
OK, I just had a feeling that something I was going was causing the issue. I'm looking at the screen that shows the scales and something didn't look right. And I am embarrassed to tell you that I had reversed the x and y axis. It's not the first time I have transposed numbers. The screen shows a ver...

Re: Issue with outside frame milling
Posting the requested files and picture. The answer to the question is that the issues will repeat every time it runs. Would it be possible to send a screen shot of how you would set up using the canned cycles menu. Basically I go to the cam tab, select insert tool, then cycles and outside frame. Th...

Re: Issue with outside frame milling
I'll post some more pics tomorrow. I thought maybe there was an old cutter com code in there somewhere so I inserted a cutter comp off command at the beginning. And this afternoon I also wrote a very crude g code program to follow the 123 block. Started with a g91 and then with all the normal moveme...

Re: Issue with outside frame milling
I'm using a 123 block. I'm also using a 90 degree 3/8 chamfer as the tool to trace around the 123 block. I have tried to set the frame up with the orientation in the middle of the block and also used the lower left corner. I get similar results.

The tool path will be off in both the X and Y directions but not in both plus and minus directions. I also have pictures of the track and pictures of my screen where I set...
