Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] EMC and Rounded Corners

Terry,

If you can increase the acceleration it will reduce the rounding
of the corners. Or as an alternative, enter a G61 (I think) to go
into exact path mode, which should eliminate the rounded corners
completely. G64 will put it back into continious mode.

Got any pictures of your table?

Bill
