LazyCam (Beta) / Wierd Leadin problem
« on: February 27, 2008, 09:06:47 PM »
I have a deceptively simple milling job I’m trying to do with LazyCAM for my Taig mill. 4 round holes and a square slot in a rectangular faceplate.
I have synchronised LazyCAM and Mach3 tooling (I’m using one 6mm end mill for everything).
What seems to be happing is that LazyCAM is generating spurious or incorrect G-Code for the leadin for the round holes. The tool plunges, shoots off at 90 degrees to the leading, then comes back and mills a nice circle as it should do.
Anyone know what is going on, is this a bug or some knid of noobish behaviour on my part?
F1.0 is so i could watch whats going on. Its usually F625.0, im working in metric and milling plastic
