    6040Z Help with A axis

    I recently purchased a 6040Z 4 axis router mill. Everything seems to work correctly and have ran several programs verifying everything. But when I use the rotary axis (axis A),using code G1 F10.0 A90.0 the axis seems to act like it is moving 90 inches, instead of 90 degrees. I cant seem to find a setting to change this issue. any help would be greatly apricated. thanks.

    I'm not sure what program you're using to control that machine, but in Mach3, you'd go to Config/General Logic Configuration and make sure the "A axis is angular" box is checked. Otherwise it will be linear.

    I am using cnc usb software, I’ve looked through the setting couldn’t find any setting like that.
