I've been graphing the part and I did question if it is correct, here is a screenshot.
I'm getting the exceed error in every part I load from the (C:\cnct\ncfiles) directory as well.

The 800 setting is what the guys at Sherline gave me so I'm just following their lead.cnckeith wrote: ↑Thu Oct 14, 2021 2:23 am looking at the setttings... unrelated to homing and wcs.. the step per rev setting is below the recommended value of 1600. yours is set to 800.

Here is my home location, you can see the switches, my G54. Also a pic of the part in Fusion to see the tool path. The part is really small stock is .375cnckeith wrote: ↑Thu Oct 14, 2021 2:19 am great.. the graph is letting you know that from the WCS position being used by the G code program the G code will not fit inside the work envelope.
Take a photo of your lathe, draw on it where you have the home position defined/switches mounted etc...
and where did you set the WCS G54 X0 and Z0 position?

Here you go.
Hey Keith can I get a bit more detail on this I’m unclear on a couple things. I’m not very skilled yet at Gcode yet, I only know a few basics.cnckeith wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 2:34 pm i would
1.) manually jog the machine to "test' the work envelope (software travel limits) all four corners, to make sure it is set correctly.
2.) command the machine to move to the WCS being used in the g code program x0,z0 to verify it is as the proper location.
"G54"
G1 X0 F20
G1 Z0 F20
3.) now graph the gcode. now if you still get travel exceeded message at this point the g code program is trying to move from the zero in step 2 to outside the work envelope in step 1.
