Hello all, I am new to the CNC community an am stuck on what you might think is a simple problem.
I'm using F360 v. 2.0.7438, Mach3 v. R3.043.062 on the SainSmart Genmitsu CNC Router 3018-MX3.
I am trying to engrave on a curved surface of a pad-lock. Everything seems to run correctly in F360 simulation, but when I start it in Mach3 my Z-axis plunges into the material, goes to its starting point, engraves the numbers (which appear to be at the correct height) then plunges again to my CNC machines zero points. I Ref All Home before I start and use the Auto Tool Zero for my Z-axis. I've attached my F360 project and some screenshots. I feel it is a simple fix that I just can't figure out. Thanks in advance for your help.ABUS 72/40 Lock
