Bob, Been there and done that! I use a probing function on a fixed tool pad that has +5V on it and a ground clip on the tool to make sure we have a good contact. The touch pad is on G53 and I have

Probably starting a religious war, but I've actually had better luck with engraving bits that actual mills for traces. I change over to a real mill for milling operations. What I really need to do is

I suppose swarf isn't the best word, but I'm curious about how you guys get rid of the chips which lodge in cuts.? I've been chasing them out with a needle, buy it's tedious. I've got 90 psi air in

Just for the record, I'm using pcb-gcode rev 3.6.2.4 with Mach3 for windows selected as the profile.? All this happens in Eagle 9.3. If you guys are using a later revision ..................???

Joel, your fix worked fine for me. john

Truth be told, I spot drilled alright with a previous version of pcbgcode SOMETIMES but sometimes things would go horribly wrong, so I deactivated spot drilling in the past. but I re-setup my CNC and

Peter, It's a mystery to me. that is exactly what I'm doing.? I'm using the "tries to e compatible g-code profile" I etch first and the spot drill follows the etch as part of its code. . then I run

All the spot drills are done with the same tool as is used for the track milling - I've used both 0.1 and 0.2mm? tools for this.?? The drill file is completely separate and calls for drills as

just to be sure. You are using the spot drill mode to prick each hole at say .011 and subsequently drilling them out at .07 +/- ?? I wonder if problem might be how the pads are coded in my Eagle

I've used most Eagle revisions from 7.7 to 9.2 with equal success w.r.t .pcbgcode if that's any help to you. Peter

This would mean that I've selected something in the pcbgcode options which does this or it is being forced by something in Eagle.? I'm going to look at one of the older eagles to see if it does it.

Hi, Not trying to pour cold water on your findings, but I've never had a problem with spot drilling!!? I did a check of my code in the area you modified and it appears to be exactly the same as the

No problem, I am normally not all that great at troubleshooting this sort of thing, but this worked out. I found a program which searches for a text string across an entire directory and subfolders,

I cannot thank you enough for this.? I do a lot of boards and having to remember to fix the incorrect spot-drill depth was a real pain. best regards, john

Hey John, I had experienced your issue as well, and I cruised through the code and I managed to find out how to fix the error.. I adjusted the code as follows The issue is a flag reset in spot drill.

Take a look at "pcb-gcode\docs\images" folder, you will se there is a missing picture.

Hi Peter, Thank you for your note.? The hole in question is to pass power leads up through the board from a 9 volt battery to be mounted beneath.? so diameter isn't critical. I've been trying to

John, Just tested the "arc theory" and can confirm that milling layers contain the necessary GCODE. Of course due allowance will be needed to allow for tool diameter, and the GCODE will need to be

Thanks much. great idea. i'll try it. john

John, I experienced a similar problem in EAGLE 7.7 as well. From what I can find is that the milling layer does not recognise holes as routing paths. Something I haven't tried yet is the make to hole
