Unwanted Mirror Image

Post by MeatMan »

Just installed vcarve desktop v9. Cut the tutorial tests successfully on my cnc router but when I cut my own design it comes out as a mirror image. What have I done wrong?

Sounds like you have one of the axis either configured incorrectly in your control software or wired incorrectly. Check that the X and Y axis are moving in the same way that VCarve is expecting with positive and negative values.
