    Hello,

    Iam a happy user of a Openbuilds black box cnc machine. My only concer is when I want to cut into foam, I need to go clock wise direction, to achieve nice cut, but it goes only counter clock wise.

    When making cnc POCKET cut, it does not change "walking" direction. When I select Climb or Conventional it always goes one way - counter clock wise. Any chances this to be fixed? I tried to use inverted X or Y axis on grbl settings, but then I need re-do whole drawing in "mirror" image. I believe its not a big issue to change into coding. Or maybe Iam doing something wrong. Thanks in advance.

    Hey, Peter, thanks for the reply. Could not reeach computer at the weekend. Here is the example of gcode. I have selected pockets where desired directions are clockwise/ counterclockwise, but all of them run in one direction. And I do not get nice cut on foam material. Now I just re-draw "mirror" images and use reversed X axis, its okay, but it takes alot of time, to do proper "mirror" image. If its possible to get this fixed, would be much appreciated. I do prefer use OpenBuilds cam gcode generator.
