According to the manual, M62/M63 are synchronized with motion, and M64/M65 are not. http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/m-code.html
Have you tried M62/M63? The manual says that M64/M65 break blending, maybe that's why they aren't allowed during a string of radius compensated moves? I would think that most of the time you want M62/M63 anyway. If you program: G1 X123 Y456 (cut a line) M6x (drop head) G2 I123 J456 X122 Y456 (cut an arc) You would expect the head to drop after the line and before the arc. If you use M64/M64, it will probably drop before or during the line. On Thu, Jun 30, 2016, at 09:14 AM, andy pugh wrote: > On 30 June 2016 at 13:26, Eric H.
