Nigelo, The minimum your seeing is the old PC that ran the CNC mill it was a late 90s Pentium. No, quite the opposite. I see a Single Thread benchmark 1515 for the last Report in your zip timed at 17:10 on Jan 5 2024 where the CPU is an Intel Celeron N5105 @ 2.00GHz. See link https://www.cpubenchma...

No, you do not "bring it back" at all and should not be using the wmpg to conduct these tests. Use mdi for the pre travel to your start point and set WCS X to zero. Read off your dti or set to zero and then use mdi again to move to X2 in the SAME as direction as pre travel at say F8 I.e G1...

For a commanded move of 2" inches but actual travel of 1.997" with motor revs/inch currently set to 9.9991 try setting Motor revs/inch to 10.01412118 Save and then re-home before retesting This assumes your actual measurement is correct and you have indeed excluded backlash by pre-travelli...

Go back into the Wizard and check your spindle speeds. You cannot run at less than the minimum entered here. Put simply, the system will always default to this minimum where you enter a lower speed

My understanding: Uwe is saying his Axis "flag" passes across the face of the sensor rather than approaching head-on.

Did you have an Acorn (or other Centroid board) connected to your PC when you installed the software?

If not and you just want to familiarise yourself, install the Offline version.

Need more info to help

The fastest way forward is to restore from the most recent backup dated BEFORE you started making these erroneous changes. This assumes that the backup is the same CNC12 software version as have currently. Restore should NOT be used for different s/w versions, of course. Before you start and just in...

I also use CNC12 with Vectric's Aspire (same PP as Vcarve) and with the Centroid Arc Inch PP.

As Shawn states above, you have your drives p/r set to 800. Your report shows your Acorn config is set to 1600 which is where it should be BUT a mismatch with the drives. Before going any further, power off and reset each drive dip switches to 1600. Have you connected a E-Stop in the wizard? I see s...

Simple answer I guess is not everyone wants or needs this. I would add (or subtract) an amount greater than the tool radius if I need full clearance at the end / start of each lateral move. But there are jobs where I don't need this e.g. surfacing my Router spoil board Be interesting to see Uwe's ta...
