General Mach Discussion / Weird arcs and circles in my Mach3 toolpaths

« on: October 22, 2022, 12:13:36 AM »

I am trying to generate simple turning toolpaths for Mach3 with Fusion 360... I keep getting stray arcs and circles as in the (hopefully) uploaded example image. I went through this several years ago and someone told me how to fix it and now I forget. I usually just use the turn wizards for most of the hobby stuff I do. PLEASE HELP... I'm loosing it... <It will be a short trip>

General Mach Discussion / Mach 3 Turn tool-path arcs become circles

« on: November 12, 2019, 02:18:01 PM »

I am using Fusion 360 to generate a tool-path for an outside contour for Mach 3 Turn. Whenever I come to a fillet it wants to generate a full or partial circle instead of just cutting the damn fillet. I can produce the proper tool-path by messing with (swapping) G2 and G3 and/or swapping IJ mode between absolute and incremental mode but I just have to play with them until I get lucky.

I have attached a sample screenshot of an example.  Heelllp.
