Hi I hope someone can help, I have the Woodworker and am getting error messages and the machine will not run, when I home the machine all axis say they are over, when I set the origin to the bottom left of a project it then comes up with another error message on the Y axis and it will not run. I know how to run the machine but I am lost when it comes to these errors, can somebody please help.

Hi I am not a new user I have been using the Woodworker for 4 years perfectly ok, this is something that has suddenly started and now I can’t run any projects.
Hello Steve,
Correct me if I’m wrong - does the 2nd picture show the screen after you have set the origin to the front left corner of your part?
If so then I see that under the offset column the Y origin is 50.473mm from home position.
On the third picture the error says the Y axis is trying to go to -92.402 beyond the home position.
If we add 92.402 to 50.473 we get 142.875mm. That is 5.625 in inches and note the second line of the error says the Gcode block is commanding the CNC to go to Y-5.625
That tells me the Gcode is in G20 mode - inches.
Since your origin is the front left corner of the part as you state I expect you have no intension of cutting anything 142mm to the front of the part. So you thought you were safe clamping the part down 50mm away from home on the Y. But your code has other plans.
Since you have your screen setup in metric I’m thinking you expect your code to also be metric. After all Y-5.625mm would be a reasonable place to ramp in to the part.
Did you recently change post processors? Did you accidentally change units in your cam software? Are you unknowingly running imperial when you expect to be running metric? Look inside that Gcode file and see if it has a G20.
