Be carefull Clive, if you do cut imperial gcode on a metric machine then you need to set up an imperial material to suit.

I'm sure he'll have to rebuild his machine with an imperial tape measure before he can cut it! ....

Yes you were right but I found one lurking in the dust and managed to setup up the machine.

Probably would've been easier to convert it with the dxf file instead. I still need to tweak the start points and leadouts a little bit on that cut.

Thanks. Would you mind posting dxf file for it and then it can be scaled. I am having trouble with my vintage tape.

Here you go. Should've known how "challenging" a real system of measurement might be for my esteemed forum friends

The black powder coated one is laser cut from when I made these years ago. Unfinished HR is today on my table. I think I can still dial it in just a bit better (still have to install my desiccant air dryer and motorguard filter, and I can run it at 30A settings for better definition.
