This point to point update has 2 basic modes

Auto – when you first open it will.
Turn on the spindle and wait for coolant to prime and use feed rate any time you move and below 0.0000 on the z-axis for all axis.
When you are above 0.0000 z-axis it will use rapid rate for all axis moves.
If you move the z-axis from a +number to a  - number it will go to .120 stop turn on spindle wait for coolant to prime then cut.
Any z-axis move up will use rapid rate.

Manual – hit the manualbutton will.
No matter what move you make they will always move at the rate you set with no spindle stuff.

I also added the ability to set the x and y axis separately for each of the 9 points and more status info.

This new set will only use x,y feed rate below 0.0000 Z-axis for milling and 100% for moving above 0.0000.

Edit see blow for DL file

Thank you


Here is an update set that gives the point to point screen a whole lot more help, status and info while things are running.

Rename the file to Chucks.set 

EDIT See below for file

Updated the file at bottom of post #1

Changed the point to point screen
 Added feed for x,y and separate one for z
 Added drill and peck

Changed some button codes

The drill stuff will not work with the new Version R3.038 for some reason. --Edit works fine with Version R3.039 now

I do not think it has anything to do with the DRO’s because these will not work neither.

code "G73Z-.2500"

code "G81Z-.2500"

code "G83Z-.2500"

The Z will move down to 0.0000 and stop.

They do work in Version R3.037 but not in Version R3.038


EDIT
The Code will work if you enter the code in the MDI line but not from a VB button in Version R3.038

I have a button in my skin set that has this code that worked in version R3.037  but in version R3.038 it just sets there.

Any help would be appreciated.


zdown = GetUserDRO( 1120 )
 code "G83Z" & zdown

Let me know if there are any problems or suggestions.
Just hit any bottom button a second time and the MPG will pop out.

The set I will post tomorrow will have this screen that I will use a lot.

It’s just a simple thing to remember and go to 9 x y coordinates and 2 z coordinates.
