Rotary axis with Mach 4

Hello, I trying to do a rotary job in V carve 10.5 The toolpath looks good in V Carve see image. But when I post it and bring it into Mach 4 the tool path does not look the same :?

multi pass pockets

I know this has been asked before but I can not find it on the forum. Is there a way when doing multi pass pockets to keep the tool from coming up to project surface between passes.
Thanks

Re: Turned Profile Gadget

I am using v carve 8.5 and trying to get the turn profile to work and am getting the same error about the two vertical lines must start at the same Y value. I have attached the file. I do not know what I am doing wrong?

plate production

Hi,
How do you go about import files with a coma in them? For example ( John Smith, Ph.D.). I tried to a tab delimited file instead of CSV file but it still puts the name in quotation marks " "

Do it again w...

wider path with a profile operation

Hi, Is there an easy way to make 3/8 wide profile cut with 1/4 bit that is 3/4 deep and go 1/8 per pass and have it do both pass before it goes to the next depth? By using the allowance offset I can get it to do but it will cut all the down before it shifts over unless I do individual passes for eac...

newbe nudge question

Hi,

Can you change the amount a vector moves for each arrow click ? I am trying to copy circles and nudging them over a fixed amount but I can not find where to change the nudge amount.

Thanks
