Circles in Carbide Create seem to be inefficient and inaccurate

[JDog (J)]

The software is not capable of doing true arcs so any curve is converted to small lines to make this arc. The amount of code does not determine the speed or time its going to take to execute the cut so this is not a good way to tell if it is going to take a long time or not. Even though there are 100s of lines of code if it only takes a fraction of a sec to execute each one in will go through the code really fast. This is a really good thread that talks more about this in depth.

Lets talk about ARCs and Circles (buildbotics controller)

Started to hit some limits in my testing… When working with a Max-Deviation between 0.0005 and 0.0001, small radius arcs seem to exceed the stepper motor resolution, resulting in what I believe is a loss of torque as can be seen in this “air cutting” test done at 0.0001 Max-Deviation: The same file loaded at 0.005 Max-Deviation: Larger radius cuts and 3D carvings at 0.0001 have worked well but you need to keep an eye on the work as a tight radius may cause this and throw…
