I would suggest alway using loop sharp corners. It may be worth looking through the manual for your controller to see if theer are any settings related to small arcs.

In g-code circles are specified with an arc where the start and end are in the same place. Most controls have a tolerance where start and end points very close together are considered to be in the same place. It is possible this is the issue with your controller. It is possible this can be configured in some parameter on the control. Have a look through the manual to see if this is possible.

I'm not totally sure about the comments. If you get problems remove the comments. For example:

Code: Select all

3
INCH
4
This version uses absolute coordinates. If that doesn't work go to Options->machine->post processor and click on the 'Edit post' button. Near the start of the file you should see this code:

Code: Select all

absolute = true
Change it to

Code: Select all

absolute = false
Hey gsfantos, I have a similar problem with the settings of this machine and I have no documentation for it. Please re-post these files because they have expired.
