Axiom Iconic 6
Using Vcarve Pro v12 running a simple job to print text "test" centered on 8" x 8" board 3/4"thick.
After getting x,y,and z points set and running the gcode file, the cut always starts near back right corner (my origin point is front left and top of material). The first letter is carved OK but then the second letter results in the bit plunging straight down through the material and ramming the spindle chuck into the wood and stalling the motor. I have checked the Gcode and there are no Z movements greater than -0.777.
Also, if I manually lower Z to top of material, I can not raise Z back to full retraction. It will move a couple mm in slow movement but fast movement just makes a noise like its trying to move but wont. Only way I can get Z to fully retract is to Home all axis.
Also when manually moving X and/or Y to limit sensors, the gears will sometime grind when reaching the limit.
The original firmware for controller was for Pro8. I reinstalled controller firmware file sent via email from Axiom but that did not fix anything.
Any ideas?
