Everything seems OK. Would you mind posting the CDL file? Have you checked all the physical connections around the torchhead and assembly to make sure nothing is loose? I used to use 45, but I find I usually get better results with an arc or 90 lead-in. Have you tried either of those?

Thanks for the pic! Interesting, even in your corners (no lead-in) it is still "gouging". Hm. Can you turn off "show tool diameter" so it is just the tool path? Though I am not sure that is going to help. Also, double-click the tool path so it brings up the node-editing (with tool diameter...

That does look like a pretty big gouge. Could you please post a screenshot of what your toolpath looks like in CAD before you cut?

I have no direct experience, but I have never been a fan of USB adaptors when emulating any other connection. It never seems to work well to begin with and then quickly becomes no longer supported. Though, where in the world are you buying a laptop from that it does not come with a LAN...

Did nesting without toolpaths work?

Not sure if someone has a better way of doing this, but here is something I have used with relatively good success. I cannot always get an entire sheet full before I have to make some cuts, so I end up coming back to material I have already cut some pieces on and I try and use as much of it as...

Nice! What do you use to space your layers? How do you attach the layers to each other?

I just imported the DXF and nested the tree with no problems (though I am using v8 not v9). The only issue I have run in to while nesting is including tool paths. If I nest with tool paths it crashes, so now I just nest all my parts (ensuring proper spacing in the nesting setup) and the create...

I have experienced nesting errors in the past when including tool paths, so I no longer do that. Despite not including tool paths I have run across this error twice now, "Array limit has been exceeded. Please check the current data." Any ideas or thoughts? I search forums and only found one...
