I created a Wasteboard 2" grid in Easel - size 32x32. Generated the tool paths and Gcode using an Amana 60 degree Vbit. Homed the X50 then probed for XYZ (left front origin). Loaded the file and got the following error messages: [image] Did I make the file coordinates too big for the CNC, or what?…

I did watch the videos first before creating the wasterboard. I drew the machine limits box on the bed, then cut a wasteboard to fit the box drawn with the vbit. After flattening the wasteboard, I wanted to create the grid pattern. I used Easel and made a 2" grid and exported the Gcode. Booted up th…

My V bits are a little shorter than most of my other bits. For cutting the wasteboard they sometime need more reach. In those case I’ll carefully seat the bit in the makita collet so it is fully seated, and no more, in the collet. Be careful not to put too little in since that is dangerous. Also, w…

I homed the machine. Used a 60 degree Vbit, turned on router. Using the joystick for Z, eyeballed the DOC and using joystick, etched the spoilboard perimeter (32 1/4” X 32 1/4”) into the table top. Note: I’m in the middle holes on router bracket. After mounting spoilboard (32 1/4” X 32 1/4”) from th…

Thanks for sharing this. I was operating under the assumption that I could use the maximum cutting area of the X50 (32.25 x 32.25), and used my etched surface as my border and beginning for the grid pattern. I’ll try your method shifting inward 1/8" X & Y then run my 2" grid pattern. Hopefully, that…

Mitch, I’m using the center holes for the router, and Amana vbits - they are all 2" length and inserted well into the collet and no problem reaching the spoilboard. My goal with the grid pattern is a cut 0.015". That should be easily visible. Thanks again for your response and suggestions. Tom
