Thanks, Chris! I agree with Sven, you've made G41/G42 perfectly clear. I've spent the last several hours banging my head against my NEXT challenge, one that I'm sure that many of you have been through. I want to use a .25" endmill to cut a hole 0.505" in diameter. My (fruitless) approach so far has been as follows. (Sorry for the G-English)
a) start at x0y0, b) G42 to get tool comp c) G1 out to a point on the .505" circle. d) G02 in a circle, ramping down .1" in Z e) G02 in a circle, ramping down to .2" in Z So far I can't even write code (using expressions and named parameters) that EMC will accept. I'm clearly in that amazing space where "experience" would indicate a viable clever way to proceed. However, I am not yet experienced, and today I certainly not clever enough? Can who is both of these point me in a useful direction? (Ultimately I want to mill a number of these into a single blank.)
