Post question for haas

[biss03]

I did a search for this and found one related topic but it was from 2000. so even by my version 8 it was outdated. I'm trying to figure out how to customize the circlemill option to out put the following code: G13 D# F# I# Q# J#

 

D = tool number for comp.

F = feed

I = initial diameter (or finish if only one pass)

Q = amount to increase diameter for each pass (or doesn't appear if only one pass)

J = finish diameter (or doesn't appear if only one pass)

 

can anyone help me with this? It is driving me nuts. fortunately, i backed up the current post before hacking away.

the post i use gives everything but the Q.the D is given when you choose control.

I used to program HAAS machines manually and the g13 funtion they encorporate is priceless in this situation. I have had occational trouble getting consistent results, depending on cutter size to bore ratio.

I would forget about tweaking your post, and just use MC's wonderful True Spiral pocketing routine

Use circle mill the way it is in MC. It will output all the necessary code to do exactly the same as Haas's G13. It might be a few line longer, but the hole will be the same.
