Hi Clive here are 2 pictures the second one being the ugs is the one i use the most unless you can think of a better one, anyway i thank you for your patient but please if you get to a point where youve had enough or you cant do any more please let me know i do understand just how problematic some of these things can be.
Best regards. Colin

Colin As I have said I have never seen this software but I will have a go:-

Ok
in yellow is the DRO when you jog down in Z| does the Z readout go more -ve ??

In Green I presume that the feed rate (now set at 991) is where you will change the cutting speed in mm/min the setting at present is way too fast so set that to 100 as a start.

The step size I think is the jog increment for X and Y The same for the Z So if the Z is set at 1 it should move 1mm for every press of the button.

In Blue that is to set the home position ( can be anywhere) but best set at one end of the axis ( say the left side for X and towards you for Y) Set to near the top of the Z

In Red I am not sure but it looks like you set that at the top of the part corner. When you do that it should make the DRO zero then if you jog the machine ie. 20mm the DRO should read 20 and the actual physical distance should be 20mm travelled. If it has not travelled the correct distance you have another problem to fix.

Please be as concise as you can. Is the above what you are actually doing?


Clive.
