You need a G43  for the tool offset to be used and a G49 to cancel any active tool offset.

Change the IJ mode in config or the cam system

Mach3 needs a lead in and lead out with a line and radius the rad must be tool rad plus a bit and line length has to be tool rad plus a bit so if using a 10mm dia end mill lead in line could be 6mm and rad 6mm then all should be good.

You can do this :-

O0001 (MAIN PROGRAM)
G21 G40 G00 G99
#100 =0
G52 Z#100 (CLEAR LOCAL SHIFT)
M98 P2 L10 (MAKE 10 PARTS)
#100=0
G52 Z#100 (BACK TO START)
M30

O0002(SUB TO LOOP ROUND)
(INSERT YOUR CURRENT)
(PROGRAM HERE)
...
...
...
(ADD THIS BIT)
#100=#100+15 (LENGTH OF PART AND CUT OFF)

That will depend on how it is controlled, if Mach3 is in charge then the M6Start.m1s file in the Macro folder is your best bet.

Have you clicked on the 'Enable' button so all the icons become coloured and not grey.
