    Profile cuts starting at the wrong point

    My profile cuts are starting in the wrong spot. It only happens on the initial pass, the other passes follow right with the program.

    Anyone else have this issue? Any one know what is causing this. The toolpath looks fine in vectric aspire.

    Re: Profile cuts starting at the wrong point

    Mach3 will always cut exactly where the g-code tells it to start.

    You'll need to provide a lot more info.
    Can you post the Aspire file, and the g-code, and where you think it should start cutting?
