I center the part in the X and Y in MeshCAM, so when I flip the part in the Y-Axis the top and bottom cuts should line up correctly. I'm using the SW corner for the XY Offset, I don't enter any values the software seems to figure it out.
Since I'm using minimum stock, I broken a few end mill bits trying to figure this out. They don't like cutting brass and then being asked to cut the steel clamps.
In the Y-Direction I move from the middle of the stock until the outer periphery of the end mill reaches the outer edge of the stock. I zero Mach Y-Axis at this time.
In the X-direction I move from the middle of the stock until the outer periphery of the mill reaches the outer edge and then I move past the edge 1/2 the diameter of the end mill and zero Mach X-axis. The cut is shifted to the right by an amount that is 1/4 the diameter of the end mill.
So, a little help would be wonderful.
Thanks,
Paul
