Hi Larry,

Your profile is shown in the window bottom right (typically, Mach3Mill). In your Mach3 folder copy the .xml file with that name. Rename it then attach (using Attachments and other options).

Can you please post a copy of your <your profile> .xml file which is in the Mach3 folder. You will need to rename it to to something like larry.xml before posting. We can then check your Mach3 settings and hopefully find an answer to the problem.

I am pleased to hear that it has solved the problem.

The Gcode for your simple square contains G03 moves (arcs) which produce the rounded corners.

To remove the crop circles Change the IJ Mode in Config. / General Config. then regen. the toolpath.

Ideally, if your Gcode contains arcs then it should contain the G90.1 or G91.1 as appropriate. The manual has further details of IJ Mode.

General Mach Discussion / Re: M10/M11 Control

Can anyone recommend any other budget USB CNC controller boards that are compatible with the M10/M11 commands that can be used for Laser cutting.

Thanks.

The Warp9 USS supports the M11/M10 command set but please be aware that both the USS and Mach3 are now obsolescent products.

Hi Propstuff,

This forum is really just for members to communicate / discuss issues and, of course, help others if they can. Although this thread is monitored by Goomba, on behalf of Artsoft / NFS, he does not always reply to every post.

If you need a problem to be looked at by Artsoft / NFS specifically then you need to contact them directly by way of their Help Desk ;  https://www.machsupport.com/support/

SmoothStepper USB / Re: Rigid taping

Andy at Warp9 has said that rigid tapping is something that they are interested in doing but it will be a while before they complete it because there are higher priority requests currently being dealt with.
Your guess as to when is as good as mine
