    Cutting Does not start where I Zero/ref the machine

    Hi, I'm having an issue where I have a small piece of material say 12"x12" and my part is 11.5"x11.5"

    I Ref all home and zero in the bottom corner of the material, but mach has my table work area offset slightly so the start point is not at 0,0 (x,y) in reality it starts cutting at ~ 2,2 (x,y)

    is there a way to change this? I cant find the setting, and I looked in sheetcam also.

    here is pictures of what I am talking about. It is visible on the mach3 table display box - shows the table as a dashed grey line.

    Set your X and Y offsets to zero.

    Thank you, I had to change values in Homing and Limit config.
    I missed that before
