Title: Having an issue with arcs O ring pocket code.
Post by: fixittt on December 10, 2010, 04:23:33 PM

We are having an issue with this g code.  It works on a HAAS machine fine.
Problem is, its suppost to cut an o ring grove .5 inchs in diameter.  But its giving us a 1 inch or better pocket.

Any ideas? Problems that you may see?

Works fine here, think you may have the IJ mode set wrong, change it from General Config page from Abs to Inc.

Really your code should define the mode, if you had a G91.1 at the beginning of the code it would have run fine even though Mach was set to Abs (G90.1) the code would have overridden Machs default.
