Hi Raymond & Lukacs and
also Michael,
Thanks again for all your efforts to make milling even more fun than is already is now !
I have a couple of stupid questions.
1. We all learned that the Profiler is not a real 3D machine.
As far as I understood this means that the Z-axis can not simulaneous move together with the X- and Y axis
(The X- and Y axis CAN move simultaneous).
I know that due to this phenomenon there are small steps the Profiler milling path
(

Q: Is eliminating of these steps now possible with these programs ?
2. If I understood it well, the conversion from G-code to CBR makes this possible.
Q: Is it simple to explain what makes that the conversion gives the 3D effect via the G-code route ?
3. What is the difference between milling with a "real 3D machine/driver-card" and milling via gcode2cbr ?
4. Most toolpath generating programs give a lot a choise for selecting several "dialects of G-Code".
Which machine G-Code do you recommend ? Mach2/3 ? Other ?
5. Are there differences between the R&L and the M program ?
Ive no doubt they are both excelent

, but thats not the question
If answering in German is easier for you, do so please !
