Hi, kevoler

I loaded your dxf and posted it, It looks fine hear, See below.

What ver of Mach & LazyCam are you using, Look under Help, "About" in both.

Using Mach R3.041 & LC 3.00.2 hear.

Let Us Now, Chip

Hi, kevoler

I think it might be the "Default Plasma Post",  Try the "Default Mill" post and see if thats it.

Thanks, Chip
