Change your steps per unit to somthing like 20000 and that should fix your testing problem

Can you select the format that it is being output as? If it an autocad 14 ,2000 I don't have or use Corel I think there are some settings that you can change...  is there anyone that knows how to do this on the group?

I was thinking the wrong one  It is now as follows:

Block.Format("G%.d X%.4f Y%.4f Z%.4f R%.4f F%.2f",Cycle,ent->startx,ent->starty,Depth,RapidHeight,FeedPlunge);

General Mach Discussion / Re: Milling arcs and circles on a cylinder

« on: July 12, 2006, 07:31:42 PM »

The way to get around this is to change the A axis to be the Y axis and scale it so that it is the write distance on the outside of the cylinder by playing with the steps per unit. This is not a great way to do it but it will get it done... The right way is to break the arc into little lines and output it as X A moves.

I just got in the Minarik DCD01330 DC drive for the spindle I hooked it up as a test and WOW did that ever make that motor work better! The spindle will go from 0 - 3000 RPM in about .5sec ! The spindle can now go full forward to full reverse (3000 RPM) in about 1 sec, This is going to be very good for CSS

This is a small update but there will be more as the parts start to show up

Thanks
Brian
