Title: G Code For Convex Surface In Z Plane
Post by: AJA on March 02, 2009, 07:53:46 AM

Will someone provide the G code for a convex surface with a radius of 0.65 inches in the Z plane for a length of 4 inches in the X plane? At one time I used G68 with the canned arc program in the Mach 3, but it seems I no longer figure out how to do that.
Thanks
AJ
