Hi, Let me start out saying I'm new to Mach. I have just finished building my table and have a problem. Whenever I start to make a cut my Z axis doesn't get to it's final depth before x and y start to move. It will get there, but the first part of the cut is shallow.

Pretty much has to be the way the g-code is written.
G1 X1 Y2 Z-0.5 - will move all three axes at once, so the tool ends up at X1, Y2, Z0.5 at the end of the move
G1 Z-0.5
G1 X1 Y2 - will move Z to -0.5, *then* move X/Y
Regards,
Ray L.

I think it could also be CV mode. I saw this over the weekend when cutting some parts. With CV mode, the X and Y start moving before the Z stops.

I did change it from CV mode but cut was real jerky. I've been getting the G codes via Lazycam. Could it be a setting in LC?

If you are using LazyCam then it will create the Z axis leadIn's unless you set the 'LeadIn size' to zero or uncheck the 'LeadIn on' box. (under the 'layers' tab click 'layer leadin settings').
