General Mach Discussion / Why Mach3 "Pause" for split second on every G-code line ?

« on: October 15, 2010, 08:33:16 PM »

When I cut circle or Z radial cut, I always get Pause for 1/50 second before reading the next line ?

I create the G-code from Mastercam X3, I already install the Post Processor.

I check the Mach3 setting, but nothing wrong... or I miss something ?
