If someone can give some insight into what is happening.I would be very grateful. ![]() (I actually have 3 holes to verify x-y and orientation but to make the gcode short, I just used the center hole for this question). (A solid cylinder 48mm diameter, 13mm high) with a hole in the middle. I'm adding the gcode below and will try to add a pic of the part. Drufel's gcode simulator follows the gcode, offsetting the tool by 25mm. This doesn't mean much but it hints that Solidworks is working.and that it is my understanding that is wrong. Running the simulation in Solidworks CAM "works" (meaning the tool moves to where it's supposed to in the simulation). Also, considering that it is adding 25mm from the zero start point, it would seem that maybe the CAM software is generating absolute positioning but the post processor considers it relative positioning? Maybe? I'm so confused. Maybe the CAM software is also taking the length of the drill into consideration? I tried setting the drill length as 0 but this is kludgy and still doesn't produce expected results. My collets are "manual", meaning that I have to re-zero the tool every time I change tools. Only when I tried drilling did this happen. When doing 2.5D milling, I didn't seem to have this problem. ![]() The "safe/move fast distance is 25mm, so I guess that's where the 25mm comes from. Then, when I actually run it on the machine, the machine moves an additional 25mm (i.e. If I zero my Z coordinates to the top of the work piece and generate gcode, the gcode adds 25mm to the coordinates (I have no idea why). I created a simple part and tried using the CNC to drill holes. ![]() I am trying to verify the operation of my CNC machine. I am generating my gcode using Solidworks CAM and using Drufel for post processing. I switched out the controller to a NVSUM USB controller and a TB6600 cloned stepper driver. I am using a modified Chinese 3040 5-axis CNC machine. ![]()
