Z axis out by 2mm mach3 or fusion360 problem?

**Richardtweed** · 22-09-2019

Thanks for replying mate, I tried all that before I posted lol, I'm assuming it's a 360 issue but I have been trying for a few days now with no look, stressful is not the word ��

Then it's not Mach3 which answers half your question.! . . . There is one other possibility.? Check you don't have a tool height offset set in tool table.

can you make a simple program such as a 50mm square part, face it off and post the code so we can see what fusion is producing

I will do that now as I'm still trying to fix it, its driving me crazy. I have played about with the hights in fusion 360 with no look. Mach 3 is showing it to be 2mm above the zero so it knows where the end mill is at least.

I ran a test piece and it cut everything fine so a copied the hights I used in 360 that were pre-set and used them on the work I am having issues with and it still started cutting 2mm above the z axis zero height which has frustrated me even further, the readout on mach3 knows it is cutting +2mm
