Hey guys, so I recently put together my X2 cnc machine and I got it working mechanically. Im currently in the fine tuning stage and for some reason when I try to mill circular holes they come out off (see picture).
1. I adjusted the gibs and checked for binding,
2. greased up the ways and cleaned them off.
3.Check,tuned, and verified the motor tuning options in Mach3 against my installed iGaging DRO's,
4. accounted for backlash, and
5. made sure the Gcode file was good.
What do you guys think could be the problem? Something I did notice was that while Mach3 was excuting the code there were small pauses between lines of code. I'm not sure if this is normal. This could also be relevant: I'm currently only microsteping @ 1/2 as opposed to others who are doing 1/8 so im not sure if this effects accuracy to that extent. Thanks for your time guys and any help would be much appreciated!
