Are you cutting inside the shape or outside.

Looking at the code you don't have a lead in or out. Will you post me more detail and a DXF file and I will look into it in more detail.

Have you any pictures or video for us poor minions that live thousands of miles away?

Are you wanting a tutorial list or code to make parts,  I wrote a 'how to' guide that shows examples of the common G and M code uses.  If I can work something out with Benny then I am willing to publish this on the site.  Its about 50 A4 pages with diagrams, code and explanations.

Here are 2 pages from the guide (low res screen capture)

Edit:-  I have one for Lathe and one for Milling.

Have you got the 2 motors running in the same direction?

Are they mounted mirror style or in parallel?

If mirrored they need to run in opposite directions.

Hi Ian,

thanks for the offer but the one I have works fine and I have a second one as a backup, can you tell me where the 0-10V inputs are.

Graham.
