help needed with this g code

Anonymous — Tue, 22 Mar 2016 11:10:32 GMT

hi. I am using fusion 360 to write the g code for a part i wish to make. the ,illing machine uses mach 3 to read the code and produce the work. but when i download the fusion 360 code to mach and start the work process the cutting tool just drills into the work surface and i need to stop the run before it drills into the machine bed. what is going wrong and what is the fix. here is the first

cut g code.

This comes up all the time, people buy a cheep mill with mach3, it has no limit switches so has no home position. When the line G28 G91 z0.0 is executed the machine should go to the machine home but as you haven't homed the machine it goes to the work Z0. On the post dialog look through the properties for a line useG28 and set it to no, make sure the Z0. on the machine and in the CAM match. Also go to the CAM forum and do a search and you'll find some other workarounds for your machine.

I use Mach3 mill also and I had to deable the use of G28 and also I had to remove the G43 tool offset. Cutting those two items out and the code run ok. G28 can be turned off when you post the code and it stays off the next time you post, but I can not find a way to stop G43 and I have to edit it out on each post.

Hoope this helps
