Thanks for the report, We will be looking at the turn code from Lcam in the next few weeks. We are working on getting Mill and Plasma done first.. There has been fery little testing done to the turn code

I think I am giving Mach3 some bad code and we will get this fixed
Thanks

NC Pod / Re: Anyone tried the new plugin yet ?

It looks to me that you have the software installed ... Hmmm could you please try to install the software from www.oemtech.com and see if it will work. That is as basic as we can get for testing at this point.

Thanks

Ths is the time to ramp down the axis for the backlash correction. If you think it can do it faster make it smaller

That is all good stuff ... and  it is only the x axis hmmm is the X axis your longest cable?

Try setting your accel to about half and see if you still have the problem
Thanks

It has been tested and works better then any other release.  I have a few guys that I set up with Pods and they are reporting that it is working very well
Sorry I have not had time to post about it as I have been working on other projects

General Mach Discussion / Re: Motors ramp up with each line of g code??

The G1 linear feed mode and the F10000.0 is just a  very large feed rate to make the move seem like a rapid move.

Happy to see that it is working for you!
Thanks

The P number is a bug and is fixed for the next rev

Also if you would like to have the program move a bit better try it like this:

M3   
M11 P1
G1 X-05.000 Y00.00000 Z00.00000 F100000.0
X-08.000 Y00.00000 Z00.00000
M10 P1
X00.000 Y00.00000 Z00.00000
M30

This will make the CV work (You can't have CV in G0 mode)

LazyCam (Beta) / Re: Okay I must be stupid (or losing my mind)

There is an F78.0 in the sheetCam file and that is why it will cut faster

Thanks
