Hi Andrew,

when milling inside a shape you have to offset the path by the tool radius, and the same for the outside, LCAM can do this for you. Go into offset on the right panel, select inside or outside and enter your tool dia to be used, select the path on the drawing, the offset will be drawn.

By the way I am in Leeds, West Yorks.

Is Mach running as a demo, you can only process 1000 lines of code in the demo and your file is 5600 lines long.

To cancel a G52 shift you enter G52 X0 Y0 Z0

You have commanded a spindle speed over the max set in spindle pulley speeds.  Change the pulley speed in config and it will be ok.

What is it like if you remove the G64 from the code and replace it with G61.

Try it like this

If GetLED (808)= 1 Then
  CODE "G90 G54"
  CODE "G00 Y1.0"
  CODE "M03"
  CODE "G01 Y20.0 F70"
  CODE "G90 G00 Y5.0"
  CODE "M05"
  CODE "M30"
  While IsMoving()
  Wend
End If

It looks to me that the maximum tool diameter is .0625, so set G42 P.031 and it should work.
