Thanks Clive, I may try that and post the results here. I'm fairly new to G code, as when I were t'prentice the programming and such was done by the clever office bods :-)
How would I detect if the code is wrong please?If you can't fix it with a hammer you've got an electrical problem !

If you post the top 20 line of code it should be easy to see. you just look for the g1 z!!! parts. Did you re read my edited post lower down for the position of the model in material. ..Clive

I'll got to my machine tomorrow and get the file. I'm not sure what you mean about the position of the model in the material though. Sorry if this seems a bit dumb, but I did think I could remember more ... Maybe not

On my version its on the right hand side under Toolpath operations (setup material and rapid gaps) set your Z to the top and Gap above model to zero. ..Clive

Ok, Material setup screen on RHS reads as follows....
Material Z Zero, red spot top left corner. Thickness 13mm.
XY Datum centre spot selected. No Use offset" ticked.
Rapid gaps above material
Z1 45mm (Need to clear a clamp) Clearance
Z2 4.8mm (Plunge)
The preview shows the cut ass I would expect.... about 4mm into the work surface
I'm thnking I've set something wrong here...
Will post the actual file from the machine tomorrow into this thread somewhere... I'll open it in Notepad and see if I can see what's gorn awry tooLast edited by Nthkentman; 29-08-2014 at 07:44 PM.

Ok you have a different version to me. you could post the .crv3d file if yours is the same then I could check it. But the gcode should also do. ..Clive

Hi Clive,
I am actually using version 6 V Carve.
But playing with the Version 7 trial too. I may well just bite the bullet and buy V7 as it's far more explanatory and easier to use.
I'll pop down the lock-up tomorrow and dump the files onto a stick and then have a gander. Will post whatever I find and hope it's me being a plonker and not a duff machine reading the code wrong.
Emach machine...looks like a Chinese version, using a Chinese PP program and spindle head.
We will see.... I've only got a few weeks to get this sorted as my new unit will be ready end Oct, and I *really* need to get cracking on some stock to sellIf you can't fix it with a hammer you've got an electrical problem !
