    cut 2d and Tormach

    N10 G20
    N20 G0 G17 G40 G49 G80 G90
    N30 G61(CONSTANT CONTOUR OFF OR TURN ON W/G64)
    N40 (Deep Drill )
    N50 T1 M6
    N60 G43 0
    N70 S4000 M03
    N80 M08
    N90 G00 Z0.1250
    N100 X0.0000 Y0.0000
    N110 G83 X0.0000 Y0.0000 Z-0.8722 R0.1 F2.0 Q0.13
    N120G80
    N130 G00 Z0.1250

    This is the top portion of a program done in cut 2d and using the mach 3 post. When I try to run the program I get the error message:

    "Bug unknown motion code line 5"

    Also the spindle speed is slower than 4000.

    Anyone have an idea what is wrong?

    Thanks,
    Etced

    Try
    N50 M6 T1

    Also
    N60 G43 0
    should probably be

    N60 G43 H1
    if you want to use tool length offset.

    Gerry,

    Changing to "N60 G43 H1" did the trick. Is there a way to change the post in Cut2d so I would not have to alter every program?

    Thanks,
    Ed

    There should be a line in the Header section that looks like this, with a G43 in it.

    "[N]G43[ZH]H[T]"
