Out Jogging with Kcam,

[CharlieM]

Click View, CNC controls, and a panel comes into view with jogging keys and a bunch of other stuff. There is a place to set the distance you would like to jog, such as .001, .010, .100, .250, .500, 1.000, OK, thats nice, I set .500 and click on the -X key and it will go untill I get off the key! I cannot make it go exactly .500! Anyone know how this is accomplished?

Another thing, I zeroed all the axises, when trying to jog to -.500, the table is somewhere in the negative area, never exactly on -.500, so I click on home hopeing it will go back to where I started and the darn thing tries to suck my spindle through the roof, forcing me to disconnect the power supply before the Z axis moter burns up!

I was able to make some FlyCranks today, (10) of them.

An't this Fun.

there's a click button for 'single step' mode... otherwise, as long as the 'key' is depressed, it moves..

on the home postition, it will go to the safe Z that you've set up first....

Went jogging with Kcam again last night, I'm in love. I found the button that turns her on and she will do almost anything I ask except for the "Z" axis, what works for the X and Y does not work for the Z, what's her secret about going down to a specific place?

Now if I can find out where her home is, maybe I can re-locate her.

Thanks Vladdy.
