Post by: bullseye on December 12, 2008, 04:32:23 AM

will mach 3 take a roughing canned cycle g71-g72- and a finish canned cycle g70 to make a radius then turned back at an angle, also will it accept g02 and go3 in the same canned cycle

hope you understand what im trying to say. need to do multiple rad. and ang. in same canned cycle..

thanks

Afraid  MachTurn doesnt have much in the way of canned cycle support. I use CAM or if its simple stuff just use the wizards. Brian is suposed to be doing work on turn some time soon but when I dont know as Mill keeps him pretty well occupied, even when he does get a chance to do turn I am not sure if he wil be doing much in he way of canned cycles. If you are decent at VB you could write yourself a macro which would do what you want as that is all a canned cycle is.
