Code/Post Processor Problem?

Hi, Can anyone help? I am having problems with the Mach3.scpost Post processer. I have attached a cutting file ( Bow Hinge Replacement .TAP) to explain my problem.

Part required longer than machine bed

Hi
I have a cheap 3040 machine and I need to cut sheets longer than the machine length.
Is there an easy way to get the work to line up by marking the start point for the second
cut (after moving the work)
Many thanks for any help

Re: Rapid movement?

Hi Les and Keith, I am not sure how this works but I hope you can both see this reply. You are both correct the processer gives me the correct code only when you input the correct data. I have misunderstood the tool length offset, I have reset this to zero and all is now correct( we learn something ...

Is this a SheetCam problem or have i done something wrong? I am using Mach3...
