Thread: Problem with mach3 turn. I think
Threaded View

1 Hour Ago #1
Hi, can anyone in the know please help. Here is the set up. Lathe converted to mach3. No limit switches on machine yet. G-code produced by fusion 360. The test piece is to machine a 17mm bar down to 10mm diameter for a length of 30mm. The simulator within fusion 360 looks ok.
With the lathe, first I don’t understand offsets fully so only use clearance movements set out in fusion. I move the cutter to the outer edge of the material. Set mach3 home in this position and also part zero on both axis.
However when I start the job the tool just moves towards the chuck without cutting and I need to stop the job.
The start point should be the front leading edge of the material so I don’t understand what is going on. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Thanks
