I downloaded Mach3 PostProcessor for Mach3. I'm using SW 2013 Pro and Mastercam X4. Files are saved as IGS/Parasolid.

Problem is that toolpath which looks normal in Mastercam, looks crazy in Mach3

I have no idea why, when I create very simple toolpath like facing it will generate normal X/Y/Z (CNC is generic Gecko G540 4th Axis machine).


I need to cut some parts Today and it doesn't working at all. I recently bought it from eBay and I thought that it will work


Looks that problem is mostly with Pocketing (then it's creating crazy toolpath).

Change the IJ mode in Mach3

THANKS IT IS WORKING !!!!!!:cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers:

The NC program is doing 0.055" radius arcs
- with no comp applied, this equals 0.110" circle plus your cutter diameter ( say Ø1/4" ), so 0.11 + 0.25 would end up cutting a Ø0.36 hole in your part
this seems a good toolpath ( a few assumptions are made ).

so leads to
- a machine parameter setting
- cutter compensation previously applied, but not cancelled ( i.e. G40 )

Look towards Gerry's solution
