Cambam with Mach3

[Clive S]

I Clice

As I tryed to explain in the first post, when I Load G code to Mach3 the display shows only the circle on top of the profile and the rest of the cutout sre not visible,actualy they are not there at all. I tryed to run it on a piece of plywood and it only cut the circle !!

Ok I am not quite sure what you are saying But have you got the size (dia.) of the tool too big ie will it actually fit into the places where it is suppose to fit.

The tool is 2mm cutter ,some slots which are 3mm wide but the rest are more than 10mm

Ok if nobody answers I will load your gcode into Mach3 in the morning and see what it does.
edit: I have loaded it in CamBam and you appear to have a cut width peram set to 3 but you are using a profile tool path. I am not familiar with CB so not sure if that is correct.

Can you set this to auto and test again.

I've just loaded the .nc file into Mach3 and the toolpaths all show up.

Thanks Neale saves me a job. Out of ideas then.

Same here. All toolpaths look OK in CamBam and Mach3. I'd suggest is that you set your target depth to -3 rather than 3. but CamBam corrects this anyway. About to make a comment about the cut width then realized Clive has already done so.

Yes the Gcode shows -3mm so no prob there. Not sure about the width peram set to 3 with a 2mm cutter and a profile pass!!

Something is wrong with your mach3 not the g-code. I have the mach3 demo installed for testing purposes without any settings altered. Your g-code shows up and runs perfectly.
