If you are using Mach 3, use one of those post processors.

...sorry...should have added...if you are using Mach3 for your control software...after you click the "generate toolpath" icon, you can choose the post processor from the drop down box at the bottom. I use Mach 2/3 Arcs (inch)(*txt)...if you do your designs in metric, you should choose the alternate noted for mm.

The latest version of VCarve Pro has 3 post processors for the DeskCNC machine.

What version of VCarve Pro are you using?

Eugenio,

Have you checked to see if you have the three post processors I show in your postp folder?

I would think you need the DeskCNC_GCode_mm one to try first.

If you don't have them, or they don't work for you, it may be best to contact support@vectric.com with the details of your machine and they will help you.
