My home switches for the Y Axis are all the way back, my X Axis if you are looking at the machine are all the way to the left and my Z Axis tool is all the way up.
When I make a move (for example) if I move the Z Axis using the Page Up the tool counts in a - direction and the tool goes up. Page Down it counts up and the tool moves down.
The Y Axis using the Up Arrow the Y Axis moves towards you and counts - and Down Arrow moves away and counts +.
X Axis Right Arrow counts - and moves left and Left Arrow counts + moves Right.
I am using the Mach 3 Software, computer is using Windows XP and my CNC is a stationary table.
Can anyone tell me if this is correct or not? If not, could someone please guide me on how to fix this.
I am trying to do a test run with no tool of the Road Runner and when I try to do that from the home position the machine starts grinding while trying to move in the wrong directions.
When I tried making a Roadrunner after I move all my Axis to the middle of my table and I Zero them out and run it, it will then cut the Roadrunner.
What am I doing wrong and why will it not work from the home position?
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
