It sounds like you were expecting incremental moves - If you were in absolute mode, that behaviour would be correct. Incremental mode is set by...
Which post are you using?
Are you using the same post processor for the machine setup as you are when generating the gcode? If not, you could get different behaviour. The...
The "old" way of generating that sort of toolpath was to use a 2D pocket with a wrapped toolpath - I can't access 'Rotary Pocket' toolpath with...
Are you using wrapped toolpaths? (I was under the impression that these only supported 2D operations, but I know quite a bit has changed in CAM,...
Bit of an aside, but I found that this video explained it very well when was trying to get my own 3 axis machine working in simulation (from...
OK, you've chosen a machine model with 4th axis on A. By definition this is rotation around the X axis (A,B,C == X,Y,Z). There *are* ways of...
So there is a problem before it tries to generate the GCode. There are 3 ops in the screenshot, one with an error (a 3D Flat?) - do the other two...
Have you selected a 4 axis machine in Setup? Make sure that the location of the 4th axis matches your machine. [ATTACH]
I think the mechanical arrangements will be the real challenge. Any drive system acting on the existing axes will need to move slowly against the...
Look at $130, $131 & $132. However, for some reason, I don't believe 'soft' limits (that would prevent the machine exceeding these distances) are...
Normally the switch would be on the right (X max). It is possible to configure it to home to X- : Have a look at $23 settings:...
You can select a different WCS from the drop-down at the top left of the coordinate display in Control - where it says G54. (I think Control needs...
In this picture, the X axis is backwards. X+ should point to the right. If you correct that, F360 should make more sense. [IMG]
What CAM software is it? There will almost certainly be specific help / tutorials for it.
Seems reasonable to me (but somebody else might know better). Sometimes with pine, especially if the grain is a bit coarse, it doesn't like to cut...
Is there any possibility that the wood is damp or unseasoned? It looks to me a bit like what happens if you try and machine wet wood. What sort of...
X- is spindle / tool far left Y- is Spindle / tool at the nearest edge of the work area (so gantry nearest the front for a moving gantry machine...
I presume you'll rough out with a bigger bit, but you will still need to know what to run the 1/16" bit at. How hard is your hardwood? For...
... But did it fix the problem? (FWIW, I did see your GRBL settings, and checked $6, but didn't realise it should be '1' for the BB32 - I know...
