These files will never be in master until the reverse run branch is in master. That is the only reason why Phill is forced to keep his private repository. BUt he keeps it current with master branch

Anyone know why it would start cutting round corners. I was cutting sheets out and stopped to run to town. Came back and I tweaked some cut speed settings. And it started doing this. I don’t have a G02/G03 any where in the program. I closed LinuxCNC and still doing it. I also dropped cut speed to 50%. I changed feed rate from 100in/min to 200 in/min in the program file. This also brings up another weird thing. It seams to be running off the feed rate in the program not the feed rate set in the settings. And sometimes it’s still not using the THC. It touches off and just takes off but never adjusts the Z.

My guess is that you are not setting your G64 correctly. Look in the docs!

I use G64 P0.010 Q0.005 for most plasma work.
