Graham could have a little more of your time?
I’ll be cutting my parts next week and I have a few more
questions.
I done a test run and the code repeats perfectly
but I need to split it up.
The code is setup to cut one part and move the part out of the way
and bring the tool down so my wife can reach the draw bar to change
the tool.
It’s moving the part out of the way and bring the tool down 8 times,
can we make it only do that after the last part is cut?
Take a look at the code, I’ll point out the part that needs to be run
after the last parts is cut.
Also there will be 2 tools for this job, how would the code look for
tool # 2?
If you would like you can use the code for tool #1
and repost it for tool#2 as an example.
I would like you to explain the code so I can do this for myself
next time.
I have a Tormach mill and I didn’t see a G52 or a P2 in the G/M code table.
What does the G52 /P2 mean or stand for?
