VR milling 2 - continuous tool paths?

Post by bpmsl » Mon 06 Nov , 2017 14:12 pm

Hi folks, I'm now using my novamill more frequently and one of the things that's annoying (from a surface finish perspective) is that the mill doesn't execute consecutive lines of code as a continuous path. The mill stops at the end of each gcode line / move before continuing on to executing the next. Is this normal for the controller (red segment rs232 and latest vr milling 2)? If not is there a setting in th software I need to change?
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
Barry M

Have you tried running with Turbo switched on?

TURBO! That sounds like a good setting to me... I'll have a look tonight.

Thanks Martin...
