Hello To All:
Boy, you guys sure do know how to help a guy out!
Took the advise and downloaded the latest development version of Mach3.
After getting it installed and setup, it processes your file Graham perfectly!
Now I need to know a couple of things about how you setup the parameters. Parts of before and after details below.
What I need to know is Why did you choose the new value for Y1.5?
N107 (Cut Large Center Hole)
N109 X3.220 Y1.7180
N110 G0 Z0.000 F5
N116 G2 I-1.53125 J0.000 F20
N121 G0 Z0.100
N107 (Cut Large Center Hole)
N109 X3.220 Y1.5
G42 P.125 Y1.7180
N110 G0 Z0.000 F5
N116 G2 I-1.53125 J0.000 F20
N121 G0 Z0.100
N122 G40
The second group before and after below. Where did the X-.250 come from?
Why did you choose Y for one and X for the other?
Once I understand this I think all my current problems will be resolved.
Thanks,
George
