Hi having a problem with when using open builds control making small holes on cnc router in vectric cut 2d. all toolpaths look good but when converted in OB holes are not round squared off?. when cutting a 3mm hole using 2mm bitfor instance. ramps are smooth but not passes weird this shows in the finished job only seams to be small sub 4mm holes. also laser cutter won't cut small holes sub 2mm just squares them off.
Grbl Settings backup for review please (CONTROL > Grbl Settings tab > Backup Settings button on the main toolbar) (suspect Arc Tolerance or other similar settings been changed from default) Using the correct Post Processor? docs:software:vectric [OpenBuilds Documentation]
Hi thanks for your reply yes using correct post processor been using for 18 months all seems good except this issue.

@danny pearce don't forget to the GCODE file Yes solid catch, that X axis is 10x too fast Is correct, so must be stalling from acceleration, or issue with gcode

They were my back up settings these are my current settings im having issues with sorry for not checking
Hi the error shows what's happening in open builds control 3d window. but not in vectric calculated toolpaths. maybe an error in g code from vectric. Im not great with computers otherwise i could probably work it out myself. cant work out how to post g code for the problem .
This error occurs when cutting a 3mm hole or radius using a 2mm bit anything bigger seams ok. 4mm hole with 2mm bit no problem? also ok with a 1mm tool in 3mm hole ok. for instance I can cut an 8mm hole with 6mm tool just seems the smaller holes. as stated same thing with laser cutter it doesn't cut below 2mm just turns circles to squares?.
