Router bit raises instead of lowers
Posted: Sat Jun 01, 2019 9:23 pm
I am COMPLETELY NEW to the CNC machine and I am having trouble getting my wood router bit to lower to the wood to make the cuts. I have set up a 1/4" Flute tool with a 0" offset in the tool definition. I generate the g-code for the job but when I run it in Mach3 the machine will not keep my Z axis set at the height I have it zeroed out at. Every time I click cycle start in Mach3 it raises the bit to about half an inch above the material and runs through the cut. Do I have something set wrong in Sheetcam or is it something I have wrong in Mach3? Thank you for any help!
