G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / Delay in G-code - can't seem to eliminate it
« on: March 06, 2013, 11:09:13 AM »
Hi,
I'm not in front of the machine right now, but I've been having a problem recently with a 6-8 second delay before the machine starts to cut.
In the following G-code:
(Toolpaths used in this file:)
(center2_pocket)
(center2_cut)
(Tools used in this file: )
(1 = End Mill {0.125 inch})
N110G00G20G17G90G40G49G80
N120G70G91.1
N130T1M06
N140 (End Mill {0.125 inch})
N150G00G43Z0.8000H1
N160S12000M03 << This line waits
I'm assuming it is a "spin-up" delay for the spindle, but I've set everything back in Mach3 to 0.
I don't see anything in the preceding G-code that would override the values in the settings - does anyone have any ideas why it is still waiting?
Thanks,
Steve
