    Re: Strange but prob simple Mach3 Question

    Sorry Should have went into better detail. When I zero my router xyz to the material then hit start, The machine goes all the way to the main 0,0,0 which is where I home to. Even on a tool change thats where it goes. Its a stupid simple fix but dam I cant find it lol

    I should have noted that it does goto the location and starts cutting correctly. Just annoying

    Re: Strange but prob simple Mach3 Question

    Your g-code is telling it to do that.

    Ok. I'll check out my PP and edit it. It's on tool changes also. Should be a simple find. Thanks ger21

    Re: Strange but prob simple Mach3 Question

    is your PP inserting G28 into the code? This was happening to me with the Fusion 360 PP.

    Re: Strange but prob simple Mach3 Question

    It's in Mach 3 macro I believe. What happens is that when it asks for m6 it goes to true xyz 0. I don't want it to do anything just sit there or goto x48 y19 z 2. Where can I insert these cord into my tool change reference ?

    Re: Strange but prob simple Mach3 Question

    Are you using the default Mach3 screenset and macros?

    I am going to buy your screen set. Right now I am using Mach blue with touch probe settings

    Re: Strange but prob simple Mach3 Question

    Then either the MachBlue macro is sending it home, or your g-code. Without seeing both, I can't say for sure.

    I check my Gcode. It's ok. Looked at the m6 script and changed the start and end. Will try it later this evening
