I got my 30 X 30 Longmill set up and ready to go, so the first thing I wanted to do was to mill the spoilboard flat.
So I went to the Resources page, picked Longmill, then slid down to Wasteboard Surfacing and downloaded the files and picked out the Longmill Surfacing Code for my model.
But when I attempted to load it onto gSender and run the program, it wasn’t working properly. So rather than spend time with it, I elected to make my own program. Using the INTUwiz app for surfacing tables, I plunked in the exact Y and X dimensions for my spoilboard, plus the size of the flattening mill I was going to use, and ran the file via gSender.
It worked well except that it stopped approximately 11cms short of the right side on each pass. I stopped the job at that point and thought that if I increased the width by that amount it would increase its movement by that much and mill the entire width. Instead, it did exactly the same thing.
I am now wondering if gSender is overriding my width setting in order to keep the mill from going too far and crashing the gantry into the Y rails?
Help!
