Newfangled Solutions Mach3 Wizards / Circular Pocket error messages

« on: April 17, 2015, 11:20:48 PM »

Hi there! Using Mach 3 on a Seig KX1 and have encountered a peculiar problem. Using the circular pocket wizard I'm trying to use a 4mm dia cutter to make a pocket that's 5.2mm dia. When I run the program the pocket is oval, not circular and I get the error message: Maximum < Minimum. Can someone explain what's going on?

G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / Cut Arc Problem

« on: October 23, 2014, 01:14:43 PM »

Hello there! New guy with a 3501 mill running Mach 3. I'm trying to use the "Cut arc" wizard but I find that it's only working in metric. Even though there's a G20 in the code it behaves as if all numerical values are metric, so if I say G00 1.0 it moves the machine 1mm instead of 1 in. The question is: where's the bug? Might it be a pin config problem in the serial cable or is there something wonky in the program itself? Any help appreciated!
