That's the way to go - start simple and progress from there.

(Routing circular pockets can place quite a lot of stress on a machine and it is likely to show up any weaknesses which can then be dealt with accordingly).

I have never used an ATC so cant be of much help.

Somebody here on the forum must be using ATC and hopefully they can offer some advice on changing this macro to suit your situation.

There definitely is something wrong with the earlier toolpath - it was avoiding a work clamp or something weird.

Try this one - you may need to adjust feed-rates etc to suit your machine.

Hi Bill,

I think it is as Craig has already said (400*25=10,000) you have your Imperial and Metric units confused.

Put you steps back to 400 and put a G20 into the beginning of your Gcode. Then it will be in Inch Units and the correct size instead of Millimeter Units and way too small.
