I'm getting some really weird movements when I try to run a part in my lathe. I just got the lathe made and this is the first time I'm using it under CNC control to make some parts.
The basic problem is that the lathe is going everywhere but where it needs to go. I don't dare let this actually try to cut a part, because the bit would be buried somewhere into the stock.
Here is what I have done so far:
Used the T-Mach3Rcss.ppr and T-Mach3DcssT.ppr processors. (Both do the same thing. Mach3 has radius mode on the screen. I tried Mach3R first and when that didn't work, I tried the other one.)
In Config - General Config, I tried both the INC and ABS selections under IJ Mode.
I went through all the thread titles (17 pages worth) and read everything that even remotely looked like it might be related.
In DolphinCAM the part is cutting perfectly. If I could get it to do the same thing on the lathe, I would be a very happy camper.
Anything that I am missing?
I attached my practice file that I'm using. I used the Mach3R for this one. Line 190 starts a huge circle into my part.
