Yes, my screens work like newfangled in that you can build up a complete part by combining several functions.
I have completely made the code to make bolts, by facing, turning to a diameter for a couple different sections, then threading, chanfering the end and cutting it off. All the tool change and offset stuff is handled.
I like the ability to do the functions one at a time to be sure they are right, then adding them to the program. Of course if you just wanted to use it as a kind of automatic power feed you can do it one step at a time.
The set is mostly done, but Im a bit unhappy with the graphics, they are just plain buttons with no pizzaz But Im NOT an artist so plain is all I can do.
If this set was finished up and sold like the Addon for mill would it sell?
