Newfangled Solutions Mach3 Wizards / Cut a circle?

« on: October 20, 2009, 08:41:45 PM »

Maybe just me, but I have never been able to get the NF wizards to cut a circle.  I have never really gotten any use out of the NF wizards because I just don't trust them,  if I can't get it to cut a circle. Andy's circle routines work fine.  Please help.  I'm using 2.83

I entered:
Tool Dia .1875
X center 0
y center 0
Circle dia 1.0000
Cut outside
Depth .008
Rapid height .5000
Step depth .008

G code I get:
