Hi Malcolm,

its more of a full blown cad job,  what you have to do is an area clearance or a pocketing routine.

LazyCam (Beta) / Re: Problem in arcs in Lazycam?

« on: April 25, 2007, 03:36:26 PM »

The info I gave will get rid of the "Radius to end of arc differs from radius to start"  error you are getting, a 300Mz laptop is way too slow for Mach3, 1300Mz minimum.

If you search the forum you will find a few posts on CardBus LPT cards that have been used with success.

You can not have a G90 and a G91.1 on the same line.

Change your program to this and try again


N5 (File Phono Input Panel 2 )
N10 (Default Mill Post)
N15 (File Posted in Mill Mode)
N20 (Tuesday, April 24, 2007)
N25 G90 G80 G40
G91.1
N30 G0  Z0.0000
N35  X2.7008  Y9.5994
N40  Z1.1000

Mach3 under Vista / Re: Your opinion of Vista ?

« on: April 24, 2007, 03:55:04 AM »

I bought a new laptop for one of the guys at work, it had vista home premium on it for 10 days, it now has XP home on it, nothing would run on it, every time we tried to install something it told us it was not the correct version and would not run correctly,  the 'do you know what you are doing screens got on his wick, it would have cost us hundreds in updates if we could have got them.

The laptop is now running at twice the speed (if not more) and all our existing software runs. Vista is a joke at the moment, and will be for a long time to come. Never again.

By the way, Dell has gone back to XP on its computers as sales dropped so rapidly.
