CutControl manual jog after zero

MR-1
1

I am having trouble, I think… i need to manually jog the machine to find a location of a feature on my part after I have set my x0y0 so I know exactly where it is. This feature is very difficult to measure manually, so using the accuracy of the machine would be key!

The trouble I have is after i set up my part the machine will not let me jog -x to go find it. How do I get there? Does CutControl have any of the kinds of options noted below? I can’t seem to find them. Or am I crazy and not clicking on something that is easy to find?

  • Allow Jog Beyond Work Envelope
  • Ignore Soft Limits
  • Jog Beyond Table Limits
  • Extended Jogging

Pretty sure you can turn off your limit switches through the settings at the top-right.

so you are saying after I set my G54, cutcontrol is using some kind of limits that prevent me from moving freely after that? The machine is in the center of the table, only my g54 is zero in the middle.

I will play with it, but it really pissed me off the other day I just needed to move 1 inch of so in the -x to get around a boss and it would not let me go anymore in the -x from zero when in the work coordinates tab. Maybe I have to switch to machine? I am pretty sure I tried that.
