What do you have the backlash % speed correction set to? try setting it down to about 10% and see if you still have the problem

I am running 65in/sec^2 with a max feed of 500 IPM That is a bit much but I should hope that it is about 30 or so if you are going 500+ ipm

If you are running a slow machine you cen run down to about 8-10 with a max feed of about 100IPM


That is what I have seen work for me

LazyCam (Beta) / Re: Pimp my Lcam

« on: November 20, 2006, 10:21:22 PM »

Have been playing with Mach3 for a few days in an attempt to find controller for Plasma machine I'm building. Downloaded latest releases of Mach3 (R2.0.012) and LCam (Rls3.00 1.0.0.1) and have noticed some discrepancies. With all your "free time" I know you probably need something to do. These issues are pertaining to LCam.

When Autocleaning dxf with inside an outside objects, the cut direction for inside should be CCW (G3) to take advantage of the "straight" side of the kerf, and CW (G2) for outside cuts. This seems to be reversed.

Lead-ins and outs...When using a THC and making inside cuts, as the center fall out the torch will dive, possibly causing the tip to hit workpiece and move it. The lead-out needs to be a selectable item for plasma.

Appears that the Pierce Height and Initial Height in Plasma Options are reversed.

When closing a dxf and importing another, it appears that all of the properties for the old one are not all cleared, causing the new one to be named incorrectly when G-Code is generated and posted to Mach3.

With all the "reversals" noted above, I tested my computer for dyslexia and results were negative. Am planning to purchase license shortly if I can get system "settled down" a bit.

Thank you for the team's time and efforts with this whole project. Seems you have a winner on your hands....Herb Edmonds

Herb,
First I will start with what is fixed...
The file name thing is all good now

Now for the stuff that is not fixed:
1. Direction of the chain on load... hmmm I think that can be added but it is going to be Climb or Conv.
2. Pierce Height and Initial Height in Plasma Options should be changed onthe next rev

Thank you fot he help and hope to have you part of the team 
Brian
