Mach 3 CV settings
 

I'm cutting some 3D models using Cut3D and need to speed my cut times up (or is it decrease my cut times, :) ). I came upon this 3 page document on the Mach forum describing CV settings. Its a good read.

Greg,

I have read that page a bunch of times when I was having problems with my cutting. Yes, it is a very good thing. I have a little experience with this. Send an email or call if you still have my number.

Thanks Bud,

The issue was me again. I had set my "look ahead" to 5 lines when I was cutting allot of profiles. Don't ask why, I now know there are better way for what I was trying to do.

Anyways, now I'm cutting 3D models again and the cut quality was great, but I didn't like the "jerky" motion and long cut times. Changed the "look ahead" to 50 lines and everything is smooth, and fast. Reduced my cut times by one hour. :o

The MM would be one heck of a machine if it wasn't for the operator. :)
