View Full Version : Repeat cuts

I am making some double-sided parts where I have a jig that holds the parts for cutting the 2nd side.
When the cuts have been made the machine returns to 0.0 as it should, but it is in the way for me to change the parts and I have to use the keypad to move it out of the way.
Is there an easy way to tell the machine to end at x-25, y-10, for example?

just change the home in aspire or what your using there is a set button that lets you change where the machine starts from what height and all I can sed a screen shot the nI get to work if needed.

Scott,
Great news, I haven't paid any attention to that before now. I usually just edit the .spb file and change the start and end location.

Use it all the time to swap out parts, happens to be the place on the spoilboard I Z-zero and change bits on files referenced to spoilboard(next to a bolt).
Easy as pie to swap blanks/Bash it down/ then to just press "RR""Enter""Enter" and it's cutting again(for buttons the turn around is less than a minute) :)
I'm lazy!

If you Edit the file… you can have the router/spindle move out of the way, wait for a keypress or X number of seconds and then continue/repeat.
If this option interests you, I/we can give you more details!
