Not sure if this was asked before.
After you home the machine and you move the router to where you want to start is there a way in easel to note where X is and where Y is on the XCarve, so that if anything where to happen you could move the router back to that position and resume. For example if a carve fails and the machine doesnt return to the starting point or if changing out a bit and you accidentally move the router. It would be nice to know exactly where your starting point was.
Thanks for any help
When a homing cycle have been performed and a home position (work zero) have been confirmed this is permanently stored untill you confirm a new home position.
So if you carve once and the next day want to carve a 2nd the CNC will start at the same work zero position after a new homing cycle provided you click “Use previous home position” instead of “Confirm home position”
This assumes the tool havent been changed relative to Z. Otherwise a re-zero for Z is required. X/Y isnt affected by this.
Ok I get what your saying but what I want to know is there somewhere in easel I can physically see the X and Y and write it down incase of a mishap so I can reposition the router to the exact location that I started
Open Machine inspector window (CTRL+SHIFT+D on PC or CMD+Shift+D on Mac), the machine and work coordinates will show there
If you have performed a homing cycle, the start point / work zero is already stored from previous carve and repositioning is already secured.
