[max xam]

After selected the flag for multidepth of 0.6 , to reach -1.8 it make all in one time instead of 3.

Hello Max,
Perhaps can you share the source Gerber that you want to cutout?

Thanks,
Marius

Hi Marius,

I checked the gcode and now seems ok.

Thanks and goo dnight.

Good morning Marius,

I am trying to use TclCommands cncjob with multidepth of cut out geometry but it seems not working, it’s my mistake :

cutout cutout_grb -dia $cutout_d -margin 0.1 -gapsize 0.4 -gaps "lr" -outname cutout_geo

cncjob cutout_geo -dia 1.5 -z_cut -1.8 -z_move 2 -feedrate 100 -feedrate_z 20 dpp -0.6 -startz 50 -endz 50 -endxy 0,0 -pp GRBL_11 -outname cutout_cnc

Hi Max,
In this line:

cncjob cutout_geo -dia 1.5 -z_cut -1.8 -z_move 2 -feedrate 100 -feedrate_z 20 dpp -0.6 -startz 50 -endz 50 -endxy 0,0 -pp GRBL_11 -outname cutout_cnc

1. The parameter dpp -0.6 needs a line in front of dpp to make it a parameter. Like this: -dpp -0.6
2. The -dpp parameter should be a positive value like: -dpp 0.6 but I made it so even when using a negative value the value is converted to positive behind the scene.
In any case I’ve updated the help cncjob page to show this piece of info.

Making those changes should fix your problem. Always pay attention to what you are writing when creating Tcl scripts. They are not fool-proofed and any mistake may hang the application or yield a not-so-expected result, like in this case.

Hi Marius,

thaks a lot , it was my mistake…, now it’s working properly.

Now next step is the drill out, I hope to fix without your help.

Many thanks.

Max
