That would be great it's been kinda pain to do a rouging pass and then play with a finish pass to final dimension can eat a lot of material if not careful thanks hope you get back to it soon.

Hi Art
Well it's getting toward the end of the year and i am told it's starting to get cold up in Canada so do you think we'll see a finished pass this year of will it be next year before it's working?

 thanks for the reply,in your response lies the problem i am a end user and one software company Say's it's the others program not theirs, D2NC has been truthfully in admitting a problem in there program so who do you be leave I have seen post here on the forum from others having this problem and found other bug's in mach, when updates are released they are to fix a bug and say so what's a guy to do i hear a lot about a new version addressing video and offset problems bit it's been several months since any new releases have come out, when i first purchased Mach i intended to use it on my lathe and was advised that lathe would be up and running in about 2-3 month's it's been close to 3 yrs and still not finished just need it work as hard as i do.

no it's not the length the tool becomes offset to the inside of the material on leed in then moves to the outside for the cut so it makes a t slot in the material where mach performs a leed in i can work around it but it becomes very lengthy having to re due the design everytime there was supposed to be a fix coming for this at least i thought so as this is not the first time i have reported it.
