    More CV questions

    I am looking for info on the CV function in Mach 3.

    I have a 5x10 router used mainly for cabinet work and as such I need good square corners in most of my cuts. When I first started corners were being rounded and I ended up turning the CV function off.

    Since then I have started doing som 2.5D V carving and was having problems getting smooth curves, turn the CV function back on and all is well.

    I have read what I can find on the Mach3 site but don't understand how to use the parameters for the CV function to be able to get square corners and smooth arcs without turning it on and off.

    Thanks, Jeff Smith

    In General Config, turn on "Stop CV on Angles >" and set it to 89 or 90. Turn off all other CV options.
