    The only thing I can think of, is did you have to alter the arc settings in the mill profile, and they've some how been carried over the turn profile?

    Failing that, as Nick says, Mach 3 forum is your best bet. I've never used CAM on my lathe, as I either hand code things, or glue together the wizard outputs. Plus I've not used Mach on the lathe for a few years now.

    Thanks but for this I am using Mach 3 Turn natively - just rearranged the axes to work like a Lathe.

    Have you tried changing the settings in Mach that normally result in crop circles in mill?

    In the process of googling Mach 3 crop circles for a suitable post, I came across a link to this - http://www.machsupport.com/forum/ind...c,11932.0.html
    I've not read the docs, but they may contain a solution to your problem.

    Thanks, checking.

  7. Thanks, very useful. It looks like a reverse arc problem, more to look at later when I am at my machine / stuff.
