Title:

Outside Machine Limits - zaxis

Text:

I have been trying to dril holes into a spoiler board.

I have mounted two one on top of the other.

I set the work zero correctly at 0,0 and using a piece of paper drop the millend until it just grabs the paper.

I then set this to be the work coordinate 0,0,0 and start the spindle.

Subsequently the Gcode fails as soon as z goes negative (first plunge) with a GI/G0 alert saying I am outside limits.

When I start the spindle and ask to drill below the 0 height using the console buttons (-05mm) it fails  again.

What am I missing?

Thanks
