Mach4 General Discussion / Re: CV G64 and Exact Stop G61
« on: December 28, 2016, 02:36:18 PM »
Chaoticone,
Thanks for your reply.
Before I do machining I would like to see that the Tool in Toolpath G-Code displayed in Mach4 actually cuts on the same path.
Having produced many detailed cravings/engravings in 2.5D and 3D in Brass, we have optimized our milling machine as best we can and with Mach3 the results are not perfect but acceptable.
When running Mach4 and viewing the "Toolpath display" which is machine independent and has no short falls it should follow the path precisely if in "Exact Stop" and very close in CV mode if the CV settings are optimal.
That is what I am trying to accomplish, so until I can get a good path it is not much use in cutting actual maternal.
Any other assistance would be appreciated.
Regards,
Mauri.
