Cut a circle?

[Bluedog]

Maybe just me, but I have never been able to get the NF wizards to cut a circle.  I have never really gotten any use out of the NF wizards because I just don't trust them,  if I can't get it to cut a circle. Andy's circle routines work fine.  Please help.  I'm using 2.83

I entered:
Tool Dia .1875
X center 0
y center 0
Circle dia 1.0000
Cut outside
Depth .008
Rapid height .5000
Step depth .008

G code I get:

Did you try the code as I posted it, or try the wizard.  If the wizard works for some people and not for me I want to find out why.  It makes a circular shape of some sort, just not a circle.

 I am using version 2.83 of wizards and used the wizard with your inputs,and looks good here.
Seems i had a "ODD" shaped circle one time,and this is what fixed it.
Goto....Config> General Config>, and check to see you have Constant Velocity selected,Distance Mode is Absolute, and IJ mode is Inc.
Also when you run a Cut Circle make sure the CV Mode LED is on.

The cut circle routine uses a circular lead in and lead out so you will see several moves besides the circle you want. The ramp in and out are properly handled if you ask for a groove the lead happens above the work- clearly it doesnt help with the cut, but it still makes a lead in.

In addition to the circular lead in there is a linear move to turn on the cutter comp.

As far as I know the circle routine works for all cases, Ive tested it a lot and i use it fairly often.
