Hi RC
 I have just run some code and it works fine ,I am new to cnc and i was getting confused by the display i Lcam , It must be some sort of bug, its not to much of a problem ,
I must say Mach and Lcam is the best value for money i have  seen in a long time. both excellent programs.
Thanks very much for your help

G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / Lcam Cut Start

« on: January 11, 2008, 06:55:58 PM »

Hi Can any body help , if i set the cut start in Lcam to say -2mm for example it goes positive, what i am trying to do is  do a pocket to a depth of say -2mm then do a smaller pocket inside the first
with a start depth of -2mm cut to -4mm, i can do it if the layer  cut start are both at 0 but there is a lot of fresh air machining on the second pocket until it reaches -2 mm, so how do i get the second pocket to start at -2mm.
