Newfangled Solutions Mach3 Wizards / Re: NFS Turn Wizard
« on: January 03, 2013, 04:42:04 PM »
Just bought a licence as I thought the wizards would be useful for my mill and lathe.
Started with turn programming up some pins I need to make. They consist of a few parallel steps and then a tapered countersunk head. When I started working on the taper I noticed something strange -
When I programme the taper from Z0 to Z-1 the toolpath shows the taper as expected. However when I programme a taper from z-1 to z-2 I get a strange result in the toolpath window - the taper seems to be inverted - see the attached screenshots.
Is this a bug in the wizards? Haven't tried running the lathe as it's too cold to go into the garage!
Cheers
Dave
