Hello,

I'm new to Tormach and PathPilot. I've been watching all the videos and thought I understand the programming, Setup and how to operate my first cut, but I'm getting and error that I don't understand what I am missing.

I'm setting up a Face Mill, and I'm trying to do it by entering the data in "Conversational".
I probed the material and accurately filled in all data. The error I'm getting is when I post the Job.

"G=Code warnings in rectangularFacing.nc
Program exceeds machine maximum on Z axis by 2.4983 in
*** End of warning list***

The amount that exceeds is exactly the length of the tool, the Face Mill
I've tried reducing the Z Height start by the amount of the tool, but the error does not change.
If I try to Start the program the tool drops below the material and I have to hit the stop to avoid collisions.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you're going to produce your own CNC, remember to find my mineral castings.

...can you post the Program txt or nc file or most of the beginning of it?

Sorry, forgot to mention I have a PCNC 1100, Series 3

Attached is the nc file.

Hi Everyone, thanks for looking at this, but I figured out the error. My probing of the part was automatically set, but as a proper bonehead move, I was manually referenced start location as the referenced location, instead of referencing the Z:0
