Would be surprised if you do see it on the part.

Only one way to find out.  Simulation window doesn't depict how the material actually reacts to tool strikes.

ALSO look to reduce the feedrate to just above the average you see when running the code. Trying to run the machine at 500 when the best it will average with combined moves is about 100  can SLOW the overall process. 

Just a thought, (;-) TP

I don't see how reducing the feedrate alone would improve it.  Now you often can improve acceleration if you reduce feedrate, and then the greater acceleration will help, but using a slower speed alone will always be worse.

I found 0.004 tolerance DID notably degrade the wood's appearance.  However, 0.002 was only marginally slower than 0.004 and I didn't see any artifacts.

We did a LOT of 3d testing in the early days of Mach3 (;-)

Well, I did look at lowered feedrates BTW.  It's always the same or slightly worse to lower the feedrate.  I don't understand how it could  improve it??

With linuxcnc you have a path tolerance..  Times are as follows..  (btw the linuxcnc has a very poorly implemented run time estimate - doesn't take into account acceleration - says 8.1 minutes. ;) )

Follow path within (using 40in/s^2-600ipm for xy and 50in/s^2-200ipm for z)

This is using the new 2.7 pre-release version of linuxcnc (2.6.4 is current release).  It has a lot better trajectory planner in it.  (hope to release soon)  But it seems not too far off from what mach was doing.  (although increasing acc does increase cut speed)

It's been awhile skunkworks, but if you're still around, plz tell me- HOW do you get these figures?  Did you actually have to spend 44 min of real time measuring the run, or is there an effective simulator that doesn't actually spend realtime?
