    Plasma table steps out and back on a radius?

    My plasma table running mach 3 has been working just fine until yesterday all of a sudden when I cut a circle or radius it steps out and back in at perfect 45 degrees sort of making a 4 sided gear out of a circle ?

    Question Corrupted code?

    Sounds like G2 or G3 has become G1?? That might do it.

    Thanks for the info neilw20 but how would the code get corrupted?

    It’s the same G code I have used for a long time.

    Post you code.

    If we can see your code, it might help.
    We either have to blame the hardware or the software.
    Let's eliminate one.
