I wrote a pocketing program to surface the tops of 2x4s that I have mounted to the cross members of my table, but something is wrong with it. The tool (1/2" endmill) does not machine all the way to the edge of the 2x4 on the X axis. It comes up about 0.74" short. I’m wondering if there an offset or setting that is causing this issue. ![CNC](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/avidcnc/original/2X/f/f8efe1c42cbfcaa1cc083ce8a3043181dc73c051.jpeg) ---

Here is my program. Maybe there is something glaringly wrong with it that someone might be able to see… Thank you.

Do you have occasion to machine this far over in the X-axis in the past? Could your soft limits be set up a little short? Do you get a message in your history at the very bottom of your screen. If you click your history button, unless you’ve clear it, it will show a running tally of you status notes (errors, program exceeding your soft limits, etc.) Also, quickly scanning your program on my phone, I didn’t see an x-axis position command beyond 48.92”. If your machine is a 48, then your machinable range should be around 49.30 with soft limits on. I don’t think your program is commanding the machine to go as far in the X as you intended. But I may have missed something. ---

Depending on where you’ve set up your flags for the proximity sensor, it may be homing too far to the left for the start position. Also, the span between the Y axis extrusion is more than 48" wide. ---

Show us a screen shot of your setup in Vectric’s software; the problem is there, not particularly the GCode itself.
