Problem generating toolpath...

Hi,

 

I've been trying to use Fusion 360 the past few days, and have made a lot of progress on my drawings. Now I'm trying to generate a toolpath for a test piece I drew up. I followed an online tutorial, created components from bodies, went into cam mode, created toolpaths (with some difficulty), and now my simulation runs great. I post processed using mach3mill.cps. I run Mach3 on my router - load it on with a USB drive. It appears to load, and it will start running its profiles, but at too high of a Z. It runs at .8994 or something, when it shoud be cutting at a depth of .25. Also I think it's not jogging at the correct height. Any idea why this might be happening? The machine is zeroed out with a touchplate. Am I using the wrong post? Or have I messed up in a toolpath somewhere?

 

As I said, my simulation seems to run great. But, maybe I have something set incorrectly with my heights? Argh - it's driving me crazy. I really want to make some sawdust. Thanks in advance...

 

Will

Argh, already answered my own question. I spent forever trying to figure it out, and wouldn't you know as soon as I ask for help, I finally got it myself. I had my WCS coordinate on the wrong plane. Stupid...
