Hi
I am using sige x2 converted mill with mach 3
I have tried to engrave letters and logo on dual colored plastic.
And I have noticed that the machine doesn’t finish the cut as it suppos to do.

As you can see form the screen picture , the letters have 90 degrees angels on the corners but the cnc is cutting it with a "short cut " to the next points.






The same is happening on the Z axis and it doesn’t finish the letters (or the logo).
I have tried to generate the code with the Lazycam and solidcam and the results are the same.
Any suggestion?

Thanks thedemri

Try turning on G61 and slow your feed rate a little.

hi
thanks , I am a littel bit new be , how do i turn on the G61 ?

Thedemri

Put G61 in the start of your program. Check for G64 and delete

Hi
Thanks
its engraving now and it look like it helped a lot!

I will put a picture in 30 minuets.

when do we need to use the G64 insted of the G61?

is there a place that i can put the G61 as a default?

Hal
Thanks , it worked perfect!



I just spend a day and a half on this problem! 

Thanks again Thedemri

I am glad you got your issue fixed.

G64 can be used for 3d work and roughing if there is enough stock being left.

Check your CAM system, you should be able to add it to your first safty block. If you are using the wizards type G61 in MDI before you start.
Somewhere in the Mach3 system setup may be a line to set G61 as default.

Thanks Thedemri

The solution is telling you that your acceleration setting for the axis's are slow compared to the Vel you are running.

(;-) TP

OK
So I need to increase the acceleration valuse?
