The M20 command is just telling the indexer box to turn. The indexer control box is setting the angle.

looked like over lapping endpoints, I trimmed the intersections and it seems to work

we use a point tool path to call the tool then the manual tool path. That will put the tool info in the database.

We use a tipped of scribe from Harvey Tool 12000rpm @ 5ipm

Thank You, I figured it something simple.

Is is possible to machine a helix with a tapper?. I know that I can create the geometry/Tool Path, but I can't seem to to get the 3d profile to work. It just goes to full depth. thanks

We have a VMX 24, mechanically a good machine... but the control could use some work. We had a hard time getting our Macro B program to work. We run 23-7 at 12000

I was wondering if any one had a solid model of a Kitagawa MR250 rotary table that they would like to share. Thanks in advance.
