Hi,

I would like to know if anyone has any input on this particular control.

2000 Fanuc O M

Is it safe to set Mastercam to do Full arcs, Half arcs, or quadrants.

Does anyone have the same control and are they using Full arcs?

Thanks

I used to use Quadrants with this controller.  I found sometimes if the arc didn't start and/or finish at 0-90-180-270 then it cut funny and end up scrapping the part.
