Outside Machine Limits - zaxis

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

Hi Francis,

Thanks for your post. Can I get a copy of the G-Code file in question, and a picture of your machine and works coordinates in the home position?

Send them to us here: https://ooznest.co.uk/help/#tab_technica...

Best Regards

Fixed it. The spindle was set to low in the frame. (In fact exactly the right height for the mill end to result in zero being the height of my work piece.) Lifted it up and it seems fine now.
