Hello,
I have a problem with my plasma cutter, running on mach3 software. Everything is leveled and straight, it's ok when I cut 2-3mm steel, but when I go to 10mm, it rarely cuts it like it should, more often than not it's something like in the first picture. When cutting straight (like squares) it's ok, when cutting arcs and circles it makes this...angled profile? No idea even how to name it. I use Stanko plasma machine with 130A limit, I tried to cut it at 70 and square looks OK, circles do not. I ramped it up all the way to 120 and it produced similar results. I have 4 bars of air and I have no idea how to approach this problem. I do not have experience in this field, I'm setting it up for my friend. Thank you for all the help.

This is the G-code I use for 66mm circle:

Can't see anything wrong with it, or with the machine. I'm simply lost.
