first of all i am totally new to cnc machining so i may use some wrong terms or miss some information so please feel free to correct me.
i have a machinist buddy of mine helping me with my first project on my pcnc. we have the program written up and created a fixture using g54-59. the fixture went great but now when we load the program for the parts white and grey arcs are all over the job display screen. it looks like spaghetti. they go way off of the part and we can not find any thing in the program that creates them. we tried dry running the program 3" over the part and g54 goes good. when it goes to the g55, it starts having a mind of it's own. the g55-59 programs were just a copy/paste of the g54 but they are not working correctly.
i loaded the program into the free download of mach 3 here at home and it looks fine. there are none of the white or grey mystery arcs on it. i scrolled through it and it looks fine here.
does any one have any sugestions?
thanks.
