General Mach Discussion / Re: XY Arc Problems which Crash Machine still cropping up

Mike,
I don't use MasterCam so I can't address your specific problems, but I have had similar "circles," crop up in dxf files I have imported from CADX!! (a much less robust program than MC). Not a solution, but as a precaution, I always run through any new code without the mill running - use the arrow key line-by-line approach - and watch for errant movements in the toolpath windows. It may not be an elegant solution, but it has saved me from machine crashes.
Good luck with your work.
