    circular interpolation

    can anyone confirm that mach 3 will recognise the K variable in a G02 or G03 command when machining curves that run on XZ or YZ plane? Also when used in conjuction with G18 G19

    the controller on my machine unfortunately will not, so i am considering converting to mach 3!

    many thanks

    Yes, it will. I've cut G18 arcs before using I,K.
