So I just setup my new I2R8, my second CNC router. I am familiar with using Vcarve Pro and setting toolpaths etc. I am saving my files as MMG but issue is I set my ZERO datum and the carve begins in another part of table. My gcode is correct and my files are always set to bottom left. When I check the toolpath it clearly comes from bottom left to start carve in Vcarve Pro but on the table it takes off left and almost carve a mirror image of where board is.
Any ideas to check?
Thanks
Go Bucks!

Just a dumb question! Is the work piece oriented correctly. When that happens to me, it's because I created the project correctly, but oriented my work piece incorrectly.

I going to check again, go thru from start to finish. This is my first pendant CNC, my other is PC controlled. I'll double check the piece orientation with table config. Thanks

For a new user...just make sure that you are setting both datum or origin locations.
You will have one for the XY-axes....in the center of the material or one of the corners. And a completely separate origin for the Z-axis which will be set using the puck.
*If needed, our team is always happy to walk through that first setup with you over the phone. Do not hesitate to call if needed.
