I have been using Linux since 1997, so you preach to the converted. Unfortunately EMC does not work wioth Isel G-code at all. The machine communicates through a serail port not parallel. Unless some advances occurred with EMC the last past years that will drive the Isel it would be worth trying

I have a small Davinci CNC that I bought years ago for prototyping, but never used as my larger CNC gets all the work. On Page 47 and 48 of the manual in the link below, it describes the Gcode for Arcs. My machine cuts arcs in the X-Y plane but will not move e.g. in an arc whenever the Z-axis
