Roughing and Finishing not matching up!
« on: November 06, 2015, 06:17:57 AM »
Hi,
I am fairly new to lazyturn and have been processing some test drawings, so that we can use the program for an easy solution in my school.
I managed to get on well with a good looking results in the virtual display, so that the finished items do not show any obvious problems.
When I send the code to Mach3, the finish path looks like it's operating in radius mode, in that the x axis movements are reduced by half!
I may be doing something silly, but can't figure it out.
The attached example uses just one tool to keep it simple.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Many thanks

John

Remember this:
Draw, use Lazyturn,  Mach configuration all in the same mode. Never / do not mix radius and diameter along the way!
Same for units!

Thanks Rich

I was working in dimension mode in Lazyturn and running mach in dimension mode.
Having found a few posts in between receiving your response,
I changed to working in radius mode in Lazyturn and mach in radius mode and it worked! - so effectively problem solved.
Could it be there's a slight glitch somewhere in LazyTurn?

I don't know what dimension mode is.
Not aware of a glitch.....

Sorry RICH

I did mean to say 'diameter' mode, just a brain glitch.
