Divide circle into 4 arc moves

Post by David_Lelen01 »

Is there a way to have the post processor split a circle into 4 arc moves? I though the variable "bigarcs" in the post would do that but it still writes it as one arc. When our waterjet messes up near the end of a circle and has to restart, it goes to the beginning of the last code line and when cutting thick plate at 1.1inches/min, that is a lot of wasted time and garnet cutting back over what has already been cut.
