General Mach Discussion / Jerky transition between inline arc movements
« on: October 29, 2011, 04:22:44 PM »
Hi,
I fairly new to Mach3 (but well versed in shopbot)
I have played around with CV settings, but cannot get my cnc to transition smoothly between arced paths that meet straight lines and each other in line using G02 commands in a tool path file. I have cv on with distance set to 2(mm), and find I need this to stop arcs forming around any angular change in direction (with a bit 4mm dia and over). The machine slows up like it were going round a sharp corner - but it isnt, but not on every transition.
The following code does it around 4 times, though it is cutting a single large circle:
(Start of cutpath 11102921.01)
G21
G00 Z25
(Path 1)
G00 X309.93 Y332.19

Any help most appreciated.
