what did i miss? it works awesome. maybe i should just not worry about it but this detail i cant reconcile.

Hello Jstites,

Did you get the bugs worked out on this?  Did you get the help you needed here or from Leadshine?
I would like to do exactly what you did with my Taig mill.  Would you be willing to share exactly what you purchased from Leadshine?
Thanks for any info you are willing to share.

Pete

The "K" is necessary for the G3 to make a three-dimension helical move, without it then it would not be a helical move... hence, the problem.

This is a simple helical start move to clear the center out to depth for the cutter, then cut the pattern.
MACH screams at me about the G17 plane and will not get past line N0040.
Thanks,
