General Mach Discussion / New to Mach3- Problem with Corners
« on: August 27, 2009, 09:48:31 PM »
Hi All:
Name here is Jim and I have just completed an 8020 CNC Router. I am in the first testing stages and most is going very well. I am using VCarve V5 for my machine codes and it, like Mach3, is a great program. I have noticed one small thing that I am sure is the result of my ignorance. I cut out a simple sign on scrap pine with a rectangle of about 5 inches square around the out side. It was done in 2 passes. The first pass cut in the counter clockwise direction and the corners were very square and sharp. When it made the second pass, this time in the clockwise direction it cut one corner in a more rounded way, and on a second it overcut one little spot. If I can figure out how I will add a couple of pictures.
Any one have any idea as to what I should check?
Thanks--
Jim
