Zeros keep saying on x and going hard at the right

I have just gone to do a simple spoil board surfacing and I get this, even on an old programme,I have reconfigured the machine so many times today I am getting lost.Here is the warning I get and the simple program .Thanks for the help.
Acrylic spoil board surfacing V7.c2d (44 KB)

If you think it is good, go for it. BUT that far our is an indicaction that you might be wrong.

For instance. Your path is 137.3 mm to the right 6.4 inches.

If you can load your file we can look at it as well as the specifics of your machine

C3D added this warning a couple of versions back. As @Zman the file and the machine are not matching up. I looked at your file and dont see a problem with the file but the problem is likely your configuration.

What type of Shapeoko do you have and what Z do you have? Do you have a BitSetter? Those answers will help us help you.

I would run through the configuration and be sure what machine you pick. If you are not sure what you have then post a picture here and we will help you identify. Likewise what Z are you picking.

Just done a complete reconfiguration and get this,I am now lost

Thanks Michael/Guy.
I have the Shapeoko 3 Standard with z drive,also the bit zero.
I ran the machine a week ago for 5 days and not an issue.
I have gone in and many times set up as a new machine,this would be OK?
I just don’t know what else to do.I also loaded a a file I have used many times and the same result

Also have the bit setter

As noted, this feature was added a while back:

https://carbide3d.com/blog/carbide-motion-bounds-checking/

Post a .c2d file, step-by-step notes on how you are securing your stock and setting zero relative to it and managing all tool changes and a photo showing an attempt at cutting still in place on the machine and we can walk through this with you.

Are you setting your workpiece zero BEFORE loading the file?

Are the “Max Travel” variables on your machine correct? variables 130-132

gnea/grbl/blob/master/doc/markdown/settings.md

## Getting Started

First, connect to Grbl using the serial terminal of your choice.

Set the baud rate  to **115200** as 8-N-1 (8-bits, no parity, and 1-stop bit.)

Once connected
 you should get the Grbl-prompt, which looks like this:

```
Grbl 1.1d ['$' for help]
```

Type $ and press enter to have Grbl print a help message. You should not see any local echo of the $ and enter. Grbl should respond with:

```
[HLP:$$ $# $G $I $N $x=val $Nx=line $J=line $SLP $C $X $H ~ ! ? ctrl-x]
```

The ‘$’-commands are Grbl system commands used to tweak the settings, view or change Grbl's states and running modes, and start a homing cycle. The last four **non**-'$' commands are realtime control commands that can be sent at anytime, no matter what Grbl is doing. These either immediately change Grbl's running behavior or immediately print a report of the important realtime data like current position (aka DRO).

Thanks Will,just had a look at the bound checker and that is what I get,it says it’s a time saver,well I spent all yesterday on this and got no where.
I posted the file at the top and it is a very simple program to level a spoil board for doing acrylic,the spoil board is screwed to an existing board.
I set the zeros at the middle of the board with the bit setter/bit zero not used.
I then load the file and get the bound message.I then loaded a file I would have done 20 odd times before and same result.Am I OK going in and setting machine as a new one many times??In the morning I will go with 621 and try again.

Graham · October 5, 2023, 2:27pm

Hi Tod,in this case I was setting the zeros before loading the file,should I load the file and then zero?I have done this so many times before.

Tod1d · October 5, 2023, 4:34pm

No, to make the bound check work correctly, your zero should be set first. Otherwise it’s still using the zero point from your last job.
