Any one out there programing an 2 axis Acu-Rite mill.

 

I have the post, but can't figure out how to work the Z positions. The posted code has the clearance height of the first Op. in every Op. thereafter. If the Z height does not change, the machine will not stop so I can raise the quill befor it rapids to the next Op.

 

Is this a post or operator issue?

I played with this, I would make a tool path seperate for each chain.

I,ve tried that. It still rapids from toolpath to toolpath, without stoping to rais the quill, if there is no change in Z. The post is not recognizing the different Z heights.

If you put a Z clearance of 2. in the first Op all toolpaths will have Z=2.

Let me play with it some more.
