Have you tried removing the (unnecessary, I think) X and Y moves from the G1 lines? Maybe the control can only handle 2 axes per block. Saying that I just noticed you specify all three on that first move...

Need Help, I coded a small program but my z-axis is not going down in the part like it should.
I am running a Zenbot Router with Xylotek controller.
Here is my program:

Any help would be appreciated.
I have a 2yr Certificate and as far as i know any G-code used next like a G01
will Cancel a G02 move. The z axis decends to the first mark but no more after that.

Well when i first started out, i only had the z axis move so i added the x & y moves, but still the z axis does not descend.
By the way im using Mach3.
I bet you can't jog down either, or the z inhibit is enabled, or you have a hardware problem.
Code looks OK
Super X3. 3600rpm. Sheridan 6"x24" Lathe + more. Three ways to fix things: The right way, the other way, and maybe your way, which is possibly a faster wrong way.
I am not familiar with routers, but can there be any length compensation issue?
Nothing wrong with the program.
It is some sort of hardware, or setup problem.
Router, mill, lathe, whatever. Another digitally driven mystery need solving.

If the Z axis DRO is changing, then it's an electrical or mechanical problem. If the DRO does NOT change, then you don't have the Z axis setup properly in Mach3.

The Z-Axis DRO is changing but i dont think its an electrical problem or hardware, but i'll double check.
Thanks, for the help everybody.
Figured out my problem.
The set-up was wrong.
The vise wasnt up high enough, and the Z Axis didnt go down that far.
I raised the vice up and now it works fine.
Thanks for all the replies everybody.
