Turn Tip Types The tip type (usually represented by a number) expresses the direction and useful paths of travel that a particular tool can cut. Most tips are "pointed" in a particular direction and have a limited angle at which they can cut. (There are no pr...

Tool nose radius compensation provides a way to perform precise cutting with a tool that doesn't end in a perfect point. Since no tool has a perfect point, the sharpness of the point be expressed in the radius of the tool nose (the smaller the radius, the shar...

Screw Mapping Mach 4 (after build 2107, 2014-11-17) implements symmetric, bidirectional mapping (i.e. one map that applies to both directions of travel). Builds after 4780 (2021-11-29) implement asymmetric bidirectional screw mapping (separate maps for positi...

The EverCNC drive will try to detect values for motor resistance and inductance when the drive starts up (or when the Nominal_Current parameter changes). This autodetection has limitations, so under some circumstances, it may calculate bad values. You may nee...
