General Mach Discussion / Re: CNC Router will always fail the first toolpath

For a start you have no G90 to tell it its working absolute and no G43 to take offsets into account.

T1M6
G17
G0 G90 G43 Z35.000
G0X0.000Y0.000S15000M3
G0X56.770Y35.867Z35.000
G0Z5.000
G1Z-4.200F900.0
G1X56.633Y35.730F1800.0
X56.388Y35.581
X56.106Y35.509
X55.894

But maybe you programmed it in incremental which makes things very awkward.

You can create some M codes to turn on and output and then wait for the input etc.

A sample of your g-code would help diagnose the issue.

I would run your program at 50% feed and then at 25% feed rate and see if you get a nice corner, if you do then it must be flex in the machine.  If it was overrun then the next move would be a straight line from the bottom of the gouge point.

Are you using solid carbide tools or carbide tipped tools, solid carbide are better less flex in the shank.  Also keep the tools as short as possible.

It may be worth checking your CAM software some have an option to slow down in the corners to stop this type of problem also filleting the sharp corners with a small radius can also stop this.

Some code and pictures will help and also your XML file.

Reverse the A axis in settings.

Code runs fine here, what message do you get?

Is the output turning off in Mach3?

That is not possible unless you run the 4th axis with a pulse generator and use Mach to switch it on and off, an Arduino would work to drive the 4th axis and signals for stop and start and also rotation speed.
