    Any idea why this straight Y move is cutting at an angle? I watched very closely, the X was given a command to move even though not commanded by the code! I can only assume the arc screwed it up somehow, although there are other straight lines in the file following an arc that did not screw up!

    Is the wider cut under the box “Direction of cut” intentional?

    This does not look like lack-of-torque drift.

    Can you post the entire Gcode so Devs can run it?

    Must be an angle illusion…it is a single pass of the same width bit…anyway, here is the file

    As an experiment, try generating the Gcode file in mm rather than inch.

    DO you want me to post the file or cut it?

    Perhaps run it in air if you know where to look,

    Another user has found that a mm based Gcode ran OK for his job.
