I am running into an issue with soft limits and am hoping someone can help identify what I am missing. My file size is set to: X = 47.75" Y = 31.875" The toolpath is a simple profile toolpath set to machine On the Line. Based on the size and location of the vector, I should be well within …

check your xy datum in your CAD file. It’s most likely set to center, rather than bottom left.

Logically this makes sense. However, I am replacing my spoil-board so I cannot use the left front corner due to the oversizing of the MDF material I place so that I can cut it down to maximum cut area, therefore, I set the project to the center of project and used MDI command to send the machine to …

Did you x,y zero from the center physically?

As stated, In case you missed it, I used MDI to place X,Y Zero

What size tool are you using or telling the machine you are using. If it is larger than 1/4 than the machine may not be allowing the tool to cross the outside boundary of the soft limits. try telling the machine the bit is 1/4 and cut air to see if it will go.

The size of your material does not matter. Because people use the probe to set their work-zero, they tend to associate work-zero with a corner of their material. Work-zero is the reference point from which the toolpath G-code was created. Recreate your toolpath with a rectangle equal to the maxim…

Yes, but where did you set xy zero to using the mdi?
