Suface and Max depth adjustments

If you adjust the surface and you have set your surface and max depth, will that mess up any pockets depths. For example if you have a pocket depth of .50 and you adjust the surface .03, will the cnc now cut the pockets .53. I've have issues where the bit is not cutting through the full depth of the...

Re: Top and Bottom Z Zero CNC config

That is correct. Use the same procedure in the directions you posted, but place the "zeroing block" on top of the spoilboard. Awesome that's what i needed to know. So would there be a need to set max depth on the cnc, and if so, would you set the grounding block on top of the material to set max de...

Re: Top and Bottom Z Zero CNC config

Ok, I understand why you would use z-zero bottom.....but take vcarve out of the equation......vcarve has been set to z-zero bottom in the software.... I go to cnc machine, i place the grounding block on the spoilboard, set surface z-zero as the top of the spoilboard. Will those steps set the CNC to ...

Re: Top and Bottom Z Zero CNC config

:D I know I probably am overthinking it, but its not my machine. I am not comfortable trying a theory without completely understanding it. If the photo in my post is how you set the CNC Z-Zero at the top of the block, how do you set Z-Zero to the bottom of the block on the actual machine If you set ...

Re: Top and Bottom Z Zero CNC config

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=136713.0;attach=335663;image Ok so is this where you can set z zero to the top or bottom? If so, how would you set max depth, if you set this at the top of the spoilboard? Or would even set max depth on the CNC as this would be done in...

Re: Top and Bottom Z Zero CNC config

Obviously you must Zero the Z to the same place on your machine. I guess this is the part that i am not clear on. I am new to CNC, and want to understand the logic behind this option, and i am really green on the terms. So when setting Z Zero on the machine, is this the set surface, set max depth p...

Top and Bottom Z Zero CNC config

I'm working with a Mulicam Classic CNC machine. If you select Z Zero for the bottom of the material, how would you configure the CNC surface/max depth. When i set my surface at the top my material, and the max depth at the bottom of the material, the bit hoovers over the material similar to a dry ru...
