Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Weird. Toolpath changing when loaded to mach4

« on: February 27, 2017, 02:42:07 PM »

Thanks for your response Pedio.
I have tried all these settings and the feed changes and alike
I have noticed that if I zoom in on the toolpath window
I can actually see the pay change as mach4 runs the program basically
Showing me the path it is exicuting I assume.
Visually I can watch this path change in response to feed changes
As well as acceleration changes.
So I guess it's not actually changing the tool path but more showing
The path it is actually taking.
I have settings now that produce a square cut corner but the display
Of the toolpath still shows mach4 varying from the toolpath in the corners
No matter the settings. It is just larger or smaller but never dissappears to follow the file
Toolpath exactly.
I wonder if anyone else experiences this.

Thanks for your help.
I'll keep playing and see if I discover anything else.

Mach4 General Discussion / Weird. Toolpath changing when loaded to mach4

« on: February 24, 2017, 02:00:53 PM »

Hi all long time for me.
I recently started using mach4 and have it running fairly well
So far.
Just a few days ago I wanted to cutout some simple squares
So I made my toolpath and loaded it to mach4 and ran it

For some reason one corner was slightly rounded. I checked my file
Shows perfect square.  Reloaded and it looks fine.
Then I  noticed as soon as I hit start the toolpath actually changes
In the toolpath window with one corner being slightly rounded and mach4 follows this path.

Check my settings over and over. Nothing. Must be missing something.
Can anyone help.

Thanks.
