    Need a bit of help on first cut CAMBAM,Mach3

    Hi all, built a wood router in my shop and I am at the point to just draw a circle with a pencil. When I load the road runner it draws the first 500 lines fine, but
    when I load the following code i get "Radius to end of arc differs from radius start line 12". I am just wanting to practice with CamBam and Mach3 untill my FUN budget
    allows for the full license. Any direction would be awsome

    Change your IJ mode to incremental.

    getting the same error with Mach3

    Sorry, I can't help you. I'm getting the same error after gcode conversion in LazyCam of a triangle pocket with two arcs on opposite corners. I'm using a Canned gcode project that came with lazy cam.

    Any help for this problem would be appreciated.
