thanks for the quick reply
however i do not know what that means
im a g code newbie sorry
i did a another test run and all it did was cut in circles
and did another one from the tutorials for sheetcam does exactly the same thine circles
it does not even resemble the part
whats going on??
maybe if someone posted a simple g code or point me in the right dirrection
just to see if it the code not the setup?
cheers
