I have another gcode related question. Lets say I'm machining a one time part, say that I'm making a D-bit type cutter, and I've machined it already on the lathe and now I want to mill it down to the midpoint, and want to do it in .005" increments. Is there a way of writing gcode where I can make the code say 3 or 4 lines long rather than having to write out each and every move? Like write a routine or function that will advance the cutter .005" into the material with each cycle of the code.
