Hi
This problem might have been asked severel times before, but i could not fin any threads answering my question.
I am a total newbie to cnc and G-codes.
When i For example try to cut a circle drawn in Autocad and stored as dxf, and the import it to Mach3 it cuts, no problem, but the problem appears when i want to set the tool offset.
I hav tried to manually put in G41 at the top of the code list and it cuts outher an G42 for inner (correct me if I am wrong)
The problem is that the tool stats atthe startpostion in the lower Z pos and then moves out to the offsetdiameter of the circle
i dont know if you guys understand what i mean, but in short the piece that i want in the middle (circle) gets a mark of half the tool with
Sorry, ill try to post a picture of it if you guys dont understand my messy explenation.
Can somebody tell me how and where to write th G41 and G42 codes in the g-code table?
