Thanks Ron,

I know it'll get sorted. I wouldn't have reported it if I was sure you already knew about it. Is there a list of known bugs I can refer to in the future so I don't end up taking time and bandwidth repeating old reports?

Thanks for the idea. I don't see anywhere to specify the size or anything else about the leading anywhere in the cut circle wizard.

Thanks for the reply.

I don't think M30 is a factor as it happens even when I use cut circle first thing after a reboot.

Settings are:

cutter diameter 0.25
center of circle x0y0
diameter 1.125
conventional milling
cut inside
top of part 0.000
safe height .020
depth .05
step .05
pitch 0

Thanks,
Spence

I'm having a problem with cut circle. When set up the wizard and then push "preview" the picture looks correct. Lead in and offset good. See the first picture below, named "correct.jpg". Then I push "back" and post the code. This brings up the NFW page that has all the wizards on it and the "verify toolpath" button. When I click the "verify toolpath button" the toolpath initially shows like the first picture below it very shortly changes to the second picture below, named "incorrect.jpg". When I exit to mach it looks like the second picture. I have tried changing arc between absolute and incremental but there is no change.

So what setting do I need to change to fix my little problem.
