I'm using solidcam and got a part where there's just two slices of each side of a wax block and two holes in the middle. Now, simulation looks fine in solidcam. But when i load the gcode into mach3...it has these giant rings in the tool path along with the right tool path. What is adding this stuff? Is my post processor corrupt? As you can see, the solidcam toolpath don't show these circles.

Pretty common problem... looks like you are in absolute IJ mode instead of incremental IJ

Change it in General>Config or add a G91.1 to the G code at the beginning

[H.O]

Change your IJ-mode from Absolute to Inc (or the other way around) in Config -> General Config. Or change the post processor to output arc moves in the mode that you have Mach3 set to.

Edit: Ahh....too late.... :-)
