Need Help with Mach3 Post Processor(I think)
« on: September 30, 2013, 08:48:09 PM »
I have an operational machine, and have been cutting CUT3D demo files with it.
Mach 3 works fine.

I bought the license for Velectric VCarve Pro.... and created a part, the file looks good, but the MACH 3 is not working right, see attachment....

WHERE  DO i START TO FIX THIS?
I am using the same Mach 2/3-arcs(inch)- post processor.... need some advice

Make sure in Mach3 that your IJ mode is set to Inc.
Although the V Carve Pro post processor should be automatically doing it for you with a G91.1.

Does quick reply mean Post??
I want to write G code long hand as I did with AH-HA but i'm stuck with radii
and circles. Is there any information around that would help?
I use Sheetcam but it has its(my) problems.

The manual covers the different g-codes and how they're used. Asking specific questions is probably the best way to get help.
