Mach3 - Test Cutting

[routercnc]

Hi sfallan,

What happens if you jog the machine using the keyboard, does it move in the correct sense?

What happens if you press 'zero x' 'zero y' and 'zero z' on the first Mach screen, then go to the MDI tab (tab2) and type in 'G0 X50 Y50' at the finger prompt box. Should move from 0,0 (where it is now) to 50,50 on your table. Is this working?

OK, next, you might be interpreting arcs incorrectly (assuming your gcode contains arcs), this can give strange results. So try the following simple shape,
1 disable the Z axis stepper motor (in the Mach setup screen > ports and pins > motor outputs)
2 jog the machine to the bottom left hand corner, and zero X,Y and Z on the first Mach screen
3 run the attached Gcode, which will 'cut out' a rectangle 150 x 100, starting at 50,50 as the bottom LH corner
4 keep your hand over the estop button until complete!
5 enable Z axis

Any luck?
