When cutting a circle I get a error code 50. Cutter doesn't come all the way around to the start point. Why not? Is this table travel error. How do I cure this?

Your end point is incorrect or one of your arc centers or radius call are incorrect. The Centurion 4 is very specific about its radius/circular milling. The correct syntax is G2 0r G3 R# I# J# X# Y# where G2 or G3 is arc direction clockwise or counterclockwise R=radius size I=absolute coordinate of X axis arc center J=absolute coordinate of Y axis arc center X= arc end point in X axis Y= arc end point in Y axis Captain Midnigh 11-09-2006, 03:47 AM The program was: G2 R1.025 I-3.6875 J0 X-2.6625 Y0 Ben Colby 11-09-2006, 03:11 PM Your arc sequence looks correct. You must have a G1 and feedrate somewhere before the arc. Here is small program with a .500 endmill, boring a .716 diameter hole x .250 deep.
