To my knowledge I have never used OFFSETS
sorry I’m not very savvy to the “calls” you are referring to. I have used this Homemade CNC for ten years and have ran files like I am having problem dozens and dozens of times and never had this problem.
I realize you are trying to help, however I don’t find you statement to be true in at least my case, I apologize if I am not understanding you, please continue to help me solve my problem
I have a short file created in VCP it says “can you hear me now” using the VCP text editor, and V but cutting.
i Move to a point above the material, zero x And y, then using the paper method zero Z to the surface.
start running the file and I moused the STOP button on the screen
Using the arrow buttons on keyboard I raise the Z approximately 1/2” above the surface
Using the arrow button on keyboard I move the X axis to a random location off the cut area, but above the material.
Click the on screen MDI and type “Z0. And it lowers perfectly to the surface of the material.
i repeated the above three times at different random points of the running program and it always returned to the surface of the material using the MDI command.
am I missing something. Please don’t give up something is amiss just don’t know what.
thanks
