still new and cutting plexiglass. I am cutting with a 5/64 endmill in plexi and when cutting on a part with lots of detail causes the machine to slow down in the corners slower than I programmed (sure it is a ramping thing). the non detailed parts seem to cut ok but the detailed ones melt and reweld baddly.
any help on telling the machine to limit the slowdown? thanks steveO
