Re: Refit of old CandCNC Machine

Re: Park Documentation

Re: Refit of old CandCNC Machine

I'm using number 4) since I have a tool setter and touch plate so I don't know if the macro you are using has any issues. You should have your z travel set to where the collet touches the work surface, or on my machine I have it set even lower since I can cut off the table if I ever need to. Also di...

Re: Jogging limited to one direction

Try setting the limits to 0 not sure if it will make a difference, but if you set them to zero there won't be a limit on travel.

Re: Latest version 4.18 wont home or jog. (Estop condition, resolved)

I had another question, why isn't there a ground going to the AC drivers? I'm not trying to pile on, but you should talk to your boss about cleaning up the wiring on the mill. Sounds like he was giving you a hard time but it appears he doesn't have his machine wired correctly.
