helix mill on a tosnac 777.2

[dan m]

I was wondering how difficult it would be to get the post to out put my code like this

N100 G0 G90 X-20.75 Y-13.75 S1528 M3

N110 G43 H317 Z.25

N120 Z.1

N130 G1 Z0. F24.45

N140 G3 X-19.25 I.75 J0. K-.04 L88

 

vs.

 

long hand. the machine does not have much memory and the operators seem to like this better.

the k moves the "Z" in .04 per rev and it is loping that line 88 times. thanks for the help.

Dan,

 

That's how we used to program a helix by hand. I'm not sure how to get MC to do it.
