Hello,
I seem to be having an issue with mach3 and I am convinced it is a software config issue. My Mach3 does not like running arcs using I and J (inc. programming), it will not draw a proper arc in the display and when running on the mill it will feed around a lot quicker than programmed. I am sure it is programmed correctly because I tried other variations and Mach3 did not accept them at all. The way it does work is if I just replace the I and J with the "R" command, it then does a proper arc at the programmed feed rate. This convinces me it is software (or incorrect programming) not a machine issue. Does anyone have any ideas?
The incremental arc option is checked in general config.
If you copy and paste the prog into mach3 you can see what i mean about the incorrect arc,
it is not starting or ending tangentially.....
Here is the program that is not working:-
