I have looked at the supplied demo CNC files in the software directory. Open a few using Notepad ++. When looking at the file for the Pawn I find
the Z axis I understand, The X axis on my lathe is set so that X =0.0000 is centerline of the chuck. Does mean from the centerline of the chuck the radius extends 1/2" for a diameter of 1"? For a piece of material that is 1" in diameter?N0001 G20 ; inch measurements
:::: --- Stock Dimensions ---
:::: X- = -0.5, X+ = 0.5
:::: Z- = -1.45, Z+ = 0.0
:::: ---
If using stock that is larger than 1" (i.e. 1.25") what change should I make before running the file?
Or should the changes be made in the Intercon File instead?
I will send picture after I make something. Maybe some scrap aluminum.
Thanks,
Chuck
