Qvar Problem

[Vmax549]

I just went back to mach3 to test. The Shortest Rotation function works perfectly. Teh 360 rollover is busted. I checked back in some OLD OLD OLD test notes for Mach3 and it was broken when implemeted and ART as it seems never got back to fix it before he tired.

That is all there is folks. IF you still think that UCCNC does it correctly then that is fine by me. NO problemo

I do have another question (;-) . IF 360 rollover is ON how would you program a 2 turn helix around X A axis. Starting at X0 A0 I want to cut a 2 turn helix around A axis over 10 inches of X travel. Z will make 2 passes .250 each pass

How would you code that in Gcode ?

OK I need to make a correction on Mach3 shortest rotation. It does not work correctly either (bug). It will make teh 1st pass correctly but NOT teh second pass.

Sorry about that, (;-) TP
