General Mach Discussion / Milled circle not completely round
« on: November 21, 2009, 06:42:45 PM »Hi,
I have a cnc'd mini mill which I drive with Mach 3. I use servos rather than steppers and Geco drivers.
I generate the GCode with OneCNC.
I do have some backlash on my X axis which I remove the backlash feature within Mach 3. I believe I have this set to .0025.
When I cut a circle, the circle is not completely round there appears to be a flat area on one side aligned with the X axis which is maybe 20-15 degrees of the circle. This flat area is maybe 10-20 thou shallow.
Below is a fragment o the GCode... If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it.
