Title: Strange Toolpath
Post by: kolias on February 28, 2014, 08:43:59 PM

As per attached 2 images, my CAM program tells me that the toolpath is ok but when I import the code into Mach3 it has / cuts these circles around my part

What I do wrong?

Guess I need a new pair of reading glasses, lol,

I set the IJ Mode from Absolute to Inc and now all is fine

Thanks Alan and Hood
