I have a table that is belt driven. When it changes x/y movement fast, it will leave some wavy line cuts then clear up. How do I slow the cut before and after direction change in sheetcam or mach3? Or what are some settings I should play with that you all had good experience with?
Thanks!

You also may check the belt tension, to slack may allow a rebound action, I'm not saying tight like a guitar but not loose.

Excellent! I'll slow it down before and after corners. Thanks for the video!
My belts are tight. But thanks for the suggestion. Definitely an overlooked item. I think it is just the speed at which the direction is changed. The belts just have to much slop in them even when tight that it deflects a bit.acourtjester wrote: ↑Sun Jun 21, 2020 9:45 am You also may check the belt tension, to slack may allow a rebound action, I'm not saying tight like a guitar but not loose.

The cut rules Robert suggested may help to slow the movements before direction changes.
