Just going thru Joe Martins manual, cutting my FIRST Backplots!
How do I get the mill to cut in INCHES,
it must be in Millimeters, cause the fisrt square cut was about 1/4" square,(in a wood block), and should have left a 1.910X1.910 instead.
I have a week off school and am trying to begin the learning curve.
Thanks,
SODLE in Southern ILL.

SODLE,

When I bring up EMC2 it is in metric mode. I put a G20 code in the start of my gcode files to make sure that it is set to imperial mode.

OK I'll check to see if I didn't use G20,I may have used G21!

Let us know if that solves your problem.
