Thanks Rob, for confirming what I experiments seemed to indicate.

Hi Gene,

That's correct. The P word controls how many turns, independent of the z
height.

Greetings all;

Can I assume that when a Z# and a P# are used in a G2 or G3 move, that
the Z descent per full turn is:

Z / P

So that depth Z is accomplished in P full circles?

The docs

only sort of say that, as I read them.

I'll be boring a hole all the way through the center of each finger, but
the last time, a 1/8" tool simply plunged in with a couple flute
cleaning retractions, did not bore a big enough hole for a #8 screws
clearance and I had to enlarge it by hand, and I'd like to bore a hole
that will just clear the tips of the screws threads by doing a circular
descent.  At a low enough rate of descent per turn that I don't have to
dig up the jig very much just to make sure its fully bored to diameter
at the bottom face of the board.

Thanks all;

Cheers, Gene Heskett

[Emc-users] Question about G2/G3 where Z and P are used

2015-10-19 Thread Gene Heskett 
Greetings all;

Can I assume that when a Z# and a P# are used in a G2 or G3 move, that 
the Z descent per full turn is:

Z / P

So that depth Z is accomplished in P full circles?

The docs 

only sort of say that, as I read them.

I'll be boring a hole all the way through the center of each finger, but 
the last time, a 1/8" tool simply plunged in with a couple flute 
cleaning retractions, did not bore a big enough hole for a #8 screws 
clearance and I had to enlarge it by hand, and I'd like to bore a hole 
that will just clear the tips of the screws threads by doing a circular 
descent.  At a low enough rate of descent per turn that I don't have to 
dig up the jig very much just to make sure its fully bored to diameter 
at the bottom face of the board.

Thanks all;

Cheers, Gene Heskett
