In case this is useful, I made the following routine.
You can paste the output of a cam processor where shown, so that it
becomes a subroutine, then add parameters for final cut depth,
incremental cut depth etc.
===========================================================================================
G17 G21 G40 G49 G54 G80 G90 G94 (Customise to your needs)
#<_XY_Feed> = 200
#<_Z_Feed> = 25
F#<_XY_Feed> (Feed rate)
S1 (Spindle speed)
M3 (Start spindle)
(**************************** SUBROUTINES **************************)
O100 sub
(Put CAM file here)
O100 endsub
(**************************** MAIN PROGRAM **************************)
#<_jog_clear> = 1.00 (Clearance of cutter above work surface)
#<_cut_depth> = 0.00 (Start from surface)
#<_retract> = 0.1
#<_step_depth> = 0.25 (Depth of each successive cut)
#<_plunge> = 0.10 (Depth to plunge to before starting cut)
#<_total_depth> = -2.00 (Depth to make cuts to)
O120 while [[#<_cut_depth> - #<_step_depth>] gt #<_total_depth>]
#<_pre_cut> = [#<_cut_depth> + #<_plunge>]
#<_cut_depth> = [#<_cut_depth> - #<_step_depth>]
O100 call
O120 endwhile
O130 if [#<_cut_depth> ne #<_total_depth>]
#<_pre_cut> = [#<_cut_depth> + #<_plunge>]
#<_cut_depth> = #<_total_depth>
O100 call
O130 endif
(****************************** FINISH *****************************)
M05 (Spindle OFF)
M02
===========================================================================================
Cheers,
