Game design carving backwards

Post by jdunnett26 »

Hi everyone,

I had designed a game in v-carve pro 7.5, and when testing the design in the 3D preview the file came out fine. When I made the tap files to send to my shark router, all the tap files carved in reverse. Pretty much everything carved backwards. Everything was carved in reverse. The numbers look like the ones in the attached picture.

Has anyone had experience with this? How did the fix it?

Thank you for your help.

Jeanette

I would ask this on the shark forum, it may well be that you have accidentally altered a setting within the shark controller to mirror the file. If it was ok in the preview then I would check the machine controller first :lol:

Sounds like you have your gantry mounted backwards. Is this a new happening on an older Shark, or something you just noticed on a newish Shark?

Hi, Thanks for your answers. They were helpful. I figured it out. Some how the X and Y axis were reversed on the control box.

Do you have the forum address for the CNC Shark forum?

Googling "shark forum" works.
