Y axis beyond software table limits
Error code (1).jpg
I'm using a 1 7/8" diameter bit and tried this several times. always with this error message.
Thanks for any help

what kind of shopbot do you have.
I have the shopbot buddy and with mine the table moves in the x direction. With mine it is ok to bypass the stop as long as its a little, or the table will run off its limits and perhaps damage the table or my big toe. Sound like some one else needs to weigh in.
I had that issue once. I think I had to run the c3 routine to home x and y and the the ZT to set the table base coordinates.
I will say that I am running a standard not an alpha.
It may have gotten off if you moved the carriage with the machine turned off.
Or gremlins...it's probably gremlins.
I surface my spoil board with a 2 1/2" bit and have a similar issue. I use "Paco's spoil board routine". Before running the program I have to put the machine at x=1 and tell the software that my x axis is 94" long, not 96". I don't have any issues with the y axis thought. I think the problem is the diameter of the bit.

What are your table limits set at? You are most likely setting up the surfacing file wider than they are set.

Thanks Keith
If you tell your machine the x axis is 94" does the spoil board get surfaced?
Where do I find Paco's spoil board routine?
Thanks Red and Gary I will check out the limits tomorrow am.
Along with Gary's suggestion, you can try turning off file limit checking in the same place that you check the table limits. VL (limits for table). Defaults are only 0.5" oversize of the machine model size and your cutter is a radius of 0.9375" so depending on how the file is set up, you could be going beyond that 0.5".
While Paco's routine will work for surfacing a spoilboard, that wasn't it's intended purpose. Tools/Table Surfacer works better and you can save the file for repeated future use.
