Can anybody tell me if you are able to make a macro, that zeros X, Y and Z by the push of one button?
I need to zero at the left lower corner every time I use the machine…

Hey Lars,
you move to the desired X Y Z coordinate with a G0 command. Prepend G90 G53 to your G0 command in the same line to make sure that you move in machine coordinates first.
Then after the machine reached the new position, you set all axes to workpiece zero with this command:
G92 X0 Y0 Z0
G92 also works if you used the jog pane or the gamepad to move to the desired position.

Are you using the BB controller?
If you are using a fence or a fixed material location I know you can set a macro to a fixed location and then press the drop pin location icons to set zeros for X, Y but the Z would be different because of bit changes and material thickness. That’s just on my limited knowledge of the new macro options
Thank you once again Aip5u!
It works så fine! I was wondering if the Z position could be set higher, but stil zeoring at the spoilboard bead? Does it have to go to the zero position first?
Yours
Lars

Hi Michael
Your are right! I didn’t actually thing of this since I will be cutting shapes with the same bit - in that case you will have to change the parameters in the macro every time you change bit - but that’s actually really easy…
I´m using the buildbotics, and I use fences to, så the X and Y will not change…
