Max vel 15, max accel 50. That cuts like 1" radius arcs. But the docs are saying that's basically what G64 with no P-parameter does, basically totally disregarding accuracy to keep the feedrate up. Danny On 6/4/2016 4:16 PM, andy pugh wrote: > On 4 June 2016 at 20:20, Danny Miller wrote: >>

I've seen this several times... So Vectric Aspire 8.0 is a great program. Most of the time it works ok. However, we've found Gcode generation sometimes yield just this: G64 No "P0.001" parameter. Well that's pretty damn toxic, it'll create huge arcs instead of what it's supposed to do. It'
