SheetCAM Video Tutorial 3 | Define Machine
In this video we define the machine we will be using after SheetCAM for our CNC work. All CAM Programs need to know the machine that will be doing the work.
CAM Programs need to know parameters like:
Zero Location
Safe Working Window
Machine Widths, Lengths, Heights
After the program knows these things, it can base the G-Code program off of them. Think about it, if the program doesn't know where 0,0 is then it could start the program anywhere. What if you had a clamp there? The machine would crash.
