    I can see keys for Datum and Set Home.Obviously there is a distance in three axes from machine Home to Part Datum.Have you drawn the test shape at a point in space within Alphacam that would be outside the machine's limits?Maybe posting the Gcode would be illuminating.

    Job3: limit exceeded in X 5016.500

    All 3 jobs were based on material size of x1200, y600 z-15

    And a square cut x200,y200 to x400,y400 depth -5mm

    I'm bamboozled

    As routerdriver has stated. Can you please post up the GCode. We can have a look at what you are trying to run. If your able to copy and paste it into a post ill be able to run it on my machine for you and see if it works

    I am only at work till 10:15 this morning otherwise you may have to wait till Monday. Unless my partner goes into labour, in which case ill see you in two weeks

    Just had an idea. You using the standard post code for a 3 axis built within Alphacam? If this is the case this may be the problem. Send me private message with your email and ill send over the postcode free of charge and probably at the disgust of the firm I work for.

    That's the Gcode file produced by Alphacam.
    I'm using the - Rye QMaxi Osai TC Multidrill - post processor.

    I did try the standard Alphacam 3axis one but that couldn't be received by the machine.

    Just noticed....

    In line 13.... Go x197.5.....

    197.5x25.4 = 5016.5 (X axis error amount)

    I've been drawing in mm, I set the machine units to mm

    Unless machine defaults to inches after every power up?

    try that, just bare in mind I have my offset x25 y55 it shouldn't make any difference to you though.

    This will just run a travel safe 70 from the 0 and it thinks you have a 18mm sheet on the bed and it will cut 13mm from 0 in a square.
