I'm using mastercamX to create G-code for my lathe, up until now I have been using TurboCNC on the machine but I wanted to try Mach3 so I installed and all seems to work fine with the wizards. So i brought up an nc program I used with TurboCNC and I get these huge arcs. I tried flipping the IJ switch in Mach's config menu but that did not make it work. Here's part of the code that will not work.
X.625
G98 G1 Z0. F15.
Z.5825
X.71 Z.625
Z2.8569
G18 G3 X1.0873 Z6.737 R40.
G2 X1.125 Z7.125 R4.
X1.0873 Z7.513 R4.
G3 X.71 Z11.3931 R40.
G1 Z13.625
X.625 Z13.6675
Z14.25
I switched mastercamX to IJ mode and got this code, but it too didn't work with Mach

Any body have any ideas what I'm doing wrong? |
