General Mach Discussion / Circle accuracy problem

« on: February 05, 2014, 09:50:38 AM »

Hi Guys,

I am having a little problem. I'm hoping maybe it is some setting I am missing somewhere.

 Example:
I use Bobcad v25  and If I program and cut a 30mm circle pocket, it is always like .15mm smaller  than the 30mm.  but in the G-code all the numbers make sense and add up to a 30mm circle> But when I use the Mach3 circle pocket wizard, I get a perfect 30mm circle pocket?

I asked the guys over in the Bobcad forum, but it seems so far my G code is looking correct,  so I'm not sure what's going on? Maybe some arc setting or ??

Thanks in advance for any help
