Re: Issue with outside frame milling

The Intercon program and graph are correct.
It is tracing around the outside of a 2" x 3" rectangle, centered at X1 Y1.5. The toolpath (cutter center) is correctly offset to the outside by 0.1875 (the radius of the cutter you specified).
Assuming that you did your part setup so that MDI "G0 X0 Y0" puts the spindle centerline (center of the tool tip) directly over the left front corner; and that your turns ratios are correct, so that then "G0 X2 Y3" puts the spindle centerline directly over the back right corner; then it should run correctly.
For what it's worth, the G code program you attached seems to be something entirely different. I cannot guess where it came from, but it is not the result of Posting the Intercon program that you attached.
