I got a g53 code at the end when I tried this wizzard and that sent my Z axis down to -50 when I ran it offline.

Why does it generate this code?

[Shinosky]

The code was set up to switch to machine coordinates and then send the z axis to the home position. If you don't like this behavior you can always edit the gcode and delete this line out of the code. Part of the problem may be that you haven't ref'ed the machine. The Z should move up to the top of the travel when homed.

Hi, congrat for the nice wizard but I'm having trouble with it I don't know if this is normal but the safe Z and the total depth seems to add up together. Whenever I make a modification to the safe Z in reveals in the G code and my router plunge to that deepness. here is he pic I have measured it and it is .375 deep and the code his highlighted? By the way you wouldn't have a wizard to create an oval ( ELLIPSE ).
Thank you

Hey Bobinette,
I'd like to try and fix your problem but the jpg you posted won't display. I get a "forbidden" error message. What are the values you put into the Safe Z and Total Depth Dialog boxes?
I do not have any plans to create an ellipse wizard any time soon....sorry. I am just swamped with other projects.

Thank you for your help, for the pic I will ry it out this way, hope it works, a pic is suppose to worth a thosands words

Everything looks fine on the dialog. Could you please copy and paste the resulting Gcode? It would help me to see what might have happened.
Thanks....Andy

( CUT A 3 INCH DIA. CIRCLE)
( TOOL DIA. 0.25)
( 2 STEPS @ 0.125 PER STEP )
( TOTAL DEPTH OF 0.25 INCHES )
