Calibrating machine using RDworks…
Very interesting. I’ll be trying this out and seeing if it aids in accuracy.
Hopefully it wasn’t me that was making the mistakes!!!
But that’s more likely…

Well I couldn’t wait to do this and over 300mm on the x axis it measured 302 and 250 on the Y came out at 251.75
Followed directions in video and recut and the measurements were spot on…
Not a massive thing but every little helps.
I think from a tolerance standpoint, 2mm X and 1.75mm Y are significant! This RDworks software will write values to the stock K40 controller board, or are you calibrating a different controller? Nice job!
Agree that over 300mm that’s a significant error.
This is to the stock controller on a K50 which I assume is the same or similar to a stock K40
RDworks won’t work on the type of controllers that come stock with k40’s.
I love my K40. Like I love this thing but the only problem is not being able to adjust the step length on the board. Mine is off and I have to adjust things in my files to get it to engrave correctly which is annoying and will be a disaster when I get a new board.
The M2 nano does everything I ask of it and I don’t want to upgrade but am going to have to just so I can adjust one little setting.
There has to be a way to access the setting on these boards but it’s going to be almost impossible with the chinese support.
