Having problem machining a post mostly G3 code
« on: May 09, 2014, 06:28:53 AM »
OK the computer doesn't know that its not machining a pocket so it is giving me a lot of too complex messages and radius smaller than tool. Thats besides teh fact that I am getting weird tool paths

here is the code

(Tool 3/8” 4Fl Carbide)
N10   G20 G17 G90 G90.1 G54 S2800  F13.5 
N20   G0 Z.1 X0 Y0   
N30      X-.66 
N40      Z-.7   M2 (Touch Off and set Side to X-.6165)
N50      Y-.645                       
N60      X0     M2 (Touch Off and set Side to Y-.5145)
N70      Z0
N80      Y0     M2 ( Touch off using knee)       
N90      X-1.1  Y.84 M3 M8     
N100  G41 G1 X0 Y.5394 P.1875
N110     X.1839 Y.467
N120  G3 X0     Y.5019   I0 J0
N130  G1 X.1761 Y.4298 
N140  G3 X0     Y.4644   I0 J0
n150  G1 X.168  Y.3925           
N160  G3 X0     Y.427    I0 J0
N170  G1 X.1596 Y.3553    F11.5
N180  G3 X0     Y.3895   I0 J0
N190  G1 X.1507 Y.3181
N200  G3 X0     Y.352    I0 J0
N210  G1 X.1412 Y.281
N220  G3 X0     Y.3145   I0 J0
N230  G1 X.1311 Y.244
N240  G3 X0     Y.2771   I0 J0
N250  G1 X.1203 Y.2072    F9
N260  G3 X0     Y.2396   I0 J0
N270  G1 X.1085 Y.1706
N280  G3 X0     Y.2022   I0 J0
N290  G1 X.0955 Y.1343
N300  G3 X0     Y.1647   I0 J0
N310  G1 X.0495 Y.1482  F7
N320  G3 X0     Y.1563   I0 J0
N330  G3 X0     Y.1563   I0 J0 F5.75
N340  G1 Z.1            F13 
N350  G40 G0 X-1.1  Y.84 M5 M30

0,0 is at the center of the part.  What I am aiming for is a male post .3125 diameter.  Up to code N80 I am touching off the tool on the part so I can center everything.  I hit F5 start to jog touch off and correct my DRO's.

Help highly appreciated.  I will upload a picture of my desired tool path when I come back from work.  gotta go thnaks

Long move is from the 0,0  to where the G41 begins.  The rectangle just approximates the material to be removed.

My mistake, I had to trade G3 with G2 at least now everything is going in the right direction, but the message center still saying that 'Too Complex' stuff.  last time I was getting that my pockets were coming out weird.
