CAM Generation toolpath that goes outside of CNC limits

CAM Generation toolpath that goes outside of CNC limits

I'm trying to CNC a part with a Torchmate 3.0 Mill Plasma. It's a simple 5 inch by 5 inch block, with a face, and 2D pockets cut into. I've set the WCS to the center (x,y), bottom (z) of the block, as well as other various points. No matter where I play the WCS, or set the CNC's origin to, I get the same error.


Toolpath goes outside of machine envelope by 3.099 inch in X

Toolpath goes outside of machine envelope by 3.099 inch in Y

And a similar message for Z with a different value.

 

No matter I zero the CNC's coordinates to, I get the same value for the error in X and Y.

Is this in fusion or torchmate.

 

What are your soft limits set to.

 

Is the WCS in fusion going to be at the same places on the machine.

Thanks for the reply, the solution was to disable "Use Work Offsets"
