I finally got all 3 axis of my Shoptask servo motor CNC conversion
finished and running properly.

I tried to make a NC file using Vector to create the G codes...it
sorta works. Basicly I want 5 holes .215 diameter and two holes .50
square. My bit is 3/16's and using cutter comp(or trying), the small
holes still come out to about .320 and the large square holes are .6+
and one side of the square holes is not being cut, I get an upside U.

Also with Vector, do I have to manually enter my Z values? When I ran
the program, it was only one plane and I don't remember gettign
propted to enter a depth.

Does cutter comp get entered into the code or the machine?
I see a prompt in TCNC, but I've never seen the format it is asking
for.

turbocnc is my nc driver
