Re: two side machining error

The Zero X and Y use optical sensors.

If I do the cuts strictly from the top side with two files instead of one everything aligns.

The cuts are with a whiteside RU4700.

What is very interesting is the Y axis does not have this issue.

Re: two side machining error

It is square within .003 .
The error is .25 inches in x direction only.

I am going to check on machine and see if I can manually move the x zero point and then report back here.

Odd that the software shows perfect alignment but machining does not match.

Re: two side machining error

This is a square piece. I set the piece against the lower left corner. I flip it left/right no dowels. The part is register left and down. When I start cutting it appears that the software is shifting to the right so the bit does not go negative to the through cut for my slot. When I preview the cod...

Re: Can I move a start point on a toolpath?

I confirmed that at least for my machine (Axiom) the quick engrave toolpath does not work properly for outline of lettering. When I used the profile toolpath everything works as expected.

Thanks for all the help.

Re: Can I move a start point on a toolpath?

Okay I am using an end mill toolpath modified to the Laser. This was what Jtech told me to do. Looking for the area to change what you have suggested....very sorry to not be getting this.

Re: Can I move a start point on a toolpath?

I read the instruction on node editing which I have done before. However the starting point I put in didn't seem to change the location....looking at this further.

When I reduced the file down I noticed the starting point moved for the "e" however the "w" looks in the same spot.

Re: Can I move a start point on a toolpath?

Okay I think this problem I have is related to the start point being put in the wrong place. Though not sure.

Re: Support Pages and Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a way to import a bit profile that is different from the standard tools listed?

An example is a whiteside SC55 engraving bit but with a 45Deg point on the end.
