Hi, is there a way to tell the 1F to go to a specified x and y value. Also can I make a 2nd home. Thanks!

Home will always be the Z axis all the way up, the X axis all the way to the left, and the Y axis as far forward as possible. You can’t set a second home, nor would you want to. Don’t confuse home with zero. Zero is something you define to your work piece and will change.

You can always write down specific machine coordinates and use MDI to return to the same position.

What is MDI? Is that something I have to manually enter inside the gcode or is it on the interface?

After homing you can move each axis in segments of. 5, 1, 10, and 100mm using the touch screen very quickly. Let’s say you want xy to be 200 x 200 - just touch the 100 button twice for each axis and you are there.

Is this what you are referring to? [image] Work Coordinate Systems for Multiple Parts If I have a part I would like to batch out with multiple WCS Offsets, how do I do that? I have the toolpath in Fusion creating 4 WCS offsets (G54,G55,G56, G57) paths in the program. Is there a way to handle this with the Onefinity Controller? Not finding anything in the controller, forum or buildbotics forum. I would prefer to not clone the model and generate a toolpath that covers all 4 locations as I risk a different path on each being generated.

Thank you. I’m aware you can do that but my main reason I want to do this is I’ve had to use the red button a few times and it would delete my previous x and y zeros (origin of my project). I want a way to start there again so I can just re run my a single tool path rather than do it all again

I think this would require having to go into the gcode correct? This was my reply: Thank you.

That is my point, once you have homed, pick a convenient xy 0 and set your router there. Place your piece corner at xy0 and mark the placement. I have grid lines at 10mm intervals to help with the placement. If something goes wrong and you need to start over you can easily duplicate the placement and bring the router right back to xy0

I see that makes sense. Having a convenient starting point will allow me to get it back much faster. Thank you for the tip.

I thought… why? then Alex Zeller said it best… What are some of you guys thinking?
