I was praying that an easier way to do it would be around.
Looks like I will write  a utility to do this auto..

General Mach Discussion / combining gcode

« on: February 22, 2012, 09:21:31 PM »

I searched manual and here for the answer. However, I cannot find one so..

I wish to combine several g codes tool paths into one batched job.
My part has drilled holes, a pocket, and an outer profile.. Right now I load each tool path for each step.
How can I combine all the tool paths into one so the job will run till complete?
Does mach3 have the ability to autoload or combine the paths?
I am not sure of the terminology used for this process.

i am a noob,, Years ago I was a master machinist. And now learning my life long dream of doing cnc routing.

I live in SW Mich and built my own router using hand tools. The learning curve is steep but this is fun.
The video scanning looks intriguing..
