Error Y Axis -- Minimum soft Limit

Thank you all for seeing me through this 1st timer’s faux pas, I really appreciate all your help in seeing me through this…

So here’s my ‘meh’ bald eagle first project. Doesn’t look too bad, not too hot either, but it was my first to test the 1F woodworker, a proof of concept…. So to speak.

I used a .250 Flat End Mill for the Roughing, and a .125 Ball Nose for the Finish. I didn’t want to take hours running this carve so I reduced it down to 4” x 4”, and pulled the whole thing off within ~75 minutes.

So now I’m off to more refined work, and I would like better details than this eagle head. I find it a bit scruffy. Most of the stuff that I intend on working on will be 2.5D and 3D Carves, Wall Plaques etc.

I’d like to take the opportunity to tap the knowledgeable minds of the OneFinity Forum Members that are most inclined; for their tips on getting the best results and details and using the correct bits for my applications.

BTW, I’d like to get awesome details, but not run 24 hr cuts. :slight_smile:

You say you homed the machine by selecting the house I top right corner. Did your machine not ask to home when you first turn it on?
When you home the machine, it should go to the front left corner of the machine

Mitz, I did not home on start up because I had materials and tools on the runway… I homed manually after I cleared the path.

Thanks

having this same issue…datum position is in lower left…trying to probe xyz …very first cutout…
