Problems with arcs

Post by Human Dynamo »

I have 2 chinese routers both of them good machines.
I have converted 1 of them to Mach3 and left the other with the original DSP
system it came with.
V carve seems to generate huge amounts of code for a simple arc.
Although some times it creates arc code, I have no idea why and often the same items on the same sheet will run differently ie one smoothly and the rest stepping.
The Chinese DSP seems to cope and will run the same g code file with out "stepping".
Ideally Vectric should create the simple code that Mach3 itself generates when I use the drawing tools.
I have tried everything and after a year will either ditch Vectric or convert my Mach 3 machine back to Chinese DSP.
Any suggestions please ?
