I'm using a Fox Alien Masuter Pro, brand new to cnc. I'm using Candle to run my project, get everything lined up and hit send - spindle starts and then immediately stops, I'm getting alarm 3 and error code 9. I am no where near the limit switches, starting in the middle of my work space. Help!

I have no experience with your machine or the software you are using. What usually generates a startup warning on my CNC is Z movement in the G-code that will exceed the Z limits of my CNC. Your warning may be not from being near a limit, but commands in the file that will take the CNC into or past those limits.

recheck the dimensions of your project, one of them probably will exceed the size limits of your machine.

I have the same machine and I thought the problem was my machine because all the errors and wasted wood when the problem was …me, I end up using openbuilds control but in your case looks like you are hitting the limit switches, make sure your piece of wood is not too close to any edge. Anyway just installed the extension kit and works really good.
