    axis exchange for Onsrud Router

    Onsrud switches their x and y axis. Why I don't know. Is there a macro, or a way to fix this?

    I use an Onsrud, and have not experienced this. Are you saying that your origin is screwed up?

    No. Per Onsrud, the x and y axis are switched. If you are standing in front of the machine the left and right movement is the "Y" axis.

    Could you then swap the x and y connections on your control box?

    If he did that then all the parameters for axis length, etc. would not be correct.

    Cant you just rotate the part you are working with in your CAD/CAM program to be the correct way?

    Or use find/replace to swap all the X and Y values in your Gcode?
