Hi Graham, Henry here. I've finally received my MachMotion kit for my router. Is there a possibility that you can have another look at the code which I sent to you as I still have the problem of the code slowing right down when it gets to radii of any size. The rest of the code runs smoothly.Cheers.

Hi Graham, Henry again. My apologies, I did not mention that this was a demo version that I was using and maybe that is why its not working

Hi Graham, Ive sent the code for a square pocket with radii in the corners. Thanks for the quick response.

Hi Graham my name is Henry. I've read your post and downloaded the post for alphacamm, the problem I'm having is that the code stops running when it gets to a radius, of any size, then I have to reset and run for it to continue only for it to stop on the next bit of code with a radius(or beginning of diameter). Is there a way around this problem. I would appreciate help with this issue as I am about to purchase a complete retrofit kit but I need to know whether this could be resolved. cheers

 8)Hi my name is Henry I live in Auckland New Zealand.I've been working with Alphacam cad/cam and scm prisma 5 axis router for the last 5 years and a 3 axis 5 years before that.I bought an old Morbidelli 502 router for my own home use. The controller died soon after I found out how to get code onto it via floppy discs(what a mission).I discovered Mach3 after searching the net for a solution. So far I've been pleased with the choices and support. Live and Prosper

H my name is Henry.i Im new to this forum and Im wondering if anyone out there can help me with my situation. I currently have an old morbidelli 502 of which the controller died and is going to cost a small fortune to repair or replace.I purchased alphacam which I used to create drawings which I then saved to floppy disk then had to insert it into the morbidelli to transfer the data.The alphacam package cost a lot of money and Ive learned how to use it over the last 12 years and Im reluctant to get rig of it. My question is, how can I get to use it with Mach3 and with what post processor. Ive managed to get as far as opening the code through alpha edit through merlino in Mach3 but am unable to put the code into Mach3 for it to run. I have a demo copy of Mach3 is this maybe the problem ? Can anyone please help, Cheers.
