I’m trying to do my first cut with my Onefinity, I made a couple super basic shapes in Easel, a circle, square, and triangle. They’re all shallow cuts, between 2mm and 3mm. I’m trying to cut a 5mm piece of thin plywood.
I export the G Code onto a USB stick and plug that into my Onefinity. I keep getting this error: “Caution: The current tool path file would move 3.81mm above axis limit with the current offset.”
I always zero my machine, then I jog the Z axis down to the work area. I’m VERY far from my Z axis height limit when cutting on a 5mm piece of plywood, so I don’t understand why my gcode would be sending a command that takes me above the max?
You should Home the machine and then Zero it to the work piece the same as your model is setup (lower left corner, center). If using a Touch Probe this is pretty easy on the Corner but if centered you need to eyeball the bit to the center and manually Zero (on controller) this location. Then Zero Z with probe or piece of paper method.
Hope this helps
Hi Ron, I believe this is exactly what I’m doing. I always home the machine when I start, and then I jog the machine down until the bit is centered to the material. I still get the same error. No matter how high up or down I jog the Z, I still get the warning that I’m 3.81mm above limit on the file.
