Work bee 1010 Black box Hi I have a problem with the Z axis not resetting and I hoping someone can help please. If I have a toolpath say to drill two holes. Having set my Z with the job the first hole is drilled correctly to 6mm and moved to the safe height When drilling second hole it starts at 6mm rather than 0mm. Thanks Dave
Include the gcode you are using please? Are both holes in one file, or are you manually jogging over and running it twice? If so, are you by accident zeroing XYZ instead of just XY?
Peter Thanks for the fast reply, The holes are in one file I can senf you the code later if it will help Dave
Peter This is the code I'm using. It looks like its setting the Z back to zero after the first drill, could it be a setting on the black box that's not right?

Code is correct. Machine slipping during Z Moves? Check everything mechanical is tight, check that Z Max rate and Z acceleration is set appropriately, check wiring, check grubscrews on shaft coupler
