General Mach Discussion / Diagonal Lines not smooth - Router
« on: December 04, 2011, 08:42:35 PM »
Hi Guys,
I'm having a bit of a recurring, yet intermittent problem with our router.
On Diagonal moves, it seems that we are getting uneven X and Y Axis moves.
All the output files LOOK Ok (Outputting G Code from Vectric V Carve), but on SOME diagonals we are getting "steppy" cuts.
This is causing great hassle when engraving in stainless steel and aluminium as we do quite often.
We have played with the "Stop CV on arcs >X degrees" setting previously, It's currently set to 8 Degrees as much less than this sees square corners curved off.
Any ideas on this would be of great help!
The pictures show the problem as it has occurred just now, The job is 1400mm long (X Axis) x 550mm wide (Y Axis) and engraved area is approximately 350mm high (Y Axis) x 835mm long X Axis.
Thanks for your help!
