Project starts on wrong area of wood (x-carve)

Robert that was me showing him what to look for

So I re-setup everything. For some reason this image will only work if I do it upside down which is fine. I tried 3 other things and they worked perfect. At least it works.

Next time in Easel, when you have jogged the spindle to the intended zero point, open up “Machine” -> “Advanced” -> “Machine Inspector”.

In the area “Machine Position” there will be an X/Y/Z value listed. The Home position is X/Y/Z=0. If it show anything else it will start wherever 0,0,0 is.

Say it says X=1, Y=1.25, Z=0.25 when you have placed the spindle at the lower left side of your material and you press “Carve”, the CNC will think it is 1/1,25/0,25" away from zero, repostition to z/y=0 and carve from that point.

You need to reset the machine so 0,0,0 is at your intended start point.

Indeed, I wasnt adressing the differences between machine/work zero - nor intending to.
I tried to simplify as much as possible as his intended work zero wasnt where he wanted it to be :slight_smile:
