Title: Mirror Toolpath
Post by: nc42 on December 09, 2021, 03:09:04 PM

Is there a simple way to mirror a toolpath to cut out a mirror image? A search brings up using "-1" as a scale factor in mach3 but I don't see the scale option in the screen set I use in mach4

Thanks,
Nate

Hi,
g51,scaling and mirroring is a Gcode feature, it does not depend on Mach3 OR Mach4.

Look at page 43 of  'Mach4 CNC Controller, Mill Programming Guide,Version 1.1,Build 3775' in the Docs folder of Mach4Hobby.
