    Default Not sure what's causing machine to not advance beyond a line of code

    Trying to run a tiled file from Aspire 9 on a Saturn 2, CRP NEMA 34 Plug and Play. First tile ran fine, the second tile has 3 toolpaths - counterbore, holes and cutout. The counterbore ran fine, but when I get to the cutout (same tool) it starts the cut, gets to the first radius and stops the feed. Spindle still turns, but no feed.

    It's at line 23 of this code:

    ( T2_Front edge cut )
    ( File created: Thursday January 18 2018 - 07:12 PM)
    ( for Mach2/3 from Vectric )
    ( Material Size)
    ( X= 60.000, Y= 60.000, Z= 1.000)

    Any thoughts? I've regenerated all the toolpaths, re-saved to g-code, etc. Same issue.

    Thanks in advance!

    When I load it into Mach3, I get a zero length arc error on that line. I get the error as soon as I load it, so I don't know why you are able to run it.

    The J should be 0 in that line.

    Thanks Gerry. That was the problem. Now to figure out why 3 different posts are outputting it the same way.

    I'm not at the controller right now, but from memory we've tried Mach2/3 Arcs (inch) (*txt), G Code Arcs (inch) (*tap) and G Code (inch) (*.tap).

    I've never heard of any Vectric software outputting incorrect code. I'd send the files to Vectric and ask them about it.

    Thanks for checking back, Nate.

    I haven't contacted Vectric yet. Did a workaround for that file in EnRoute and I had a good bit of prep work for class yesterday. I'll forward the g-code to them tomorrow.
