General Mach Discussion / I need a bit of help
« on: March 07, 2010, 12:11:11 PM »
Hi
I'm new to Mach 3 and I'm a bit confused with some G code I wrote that isn't doing what I expected.
I want to cut out 20 profiles out of an aluminium plate.
I wrote the program with absolute co-ordinates and a tool diameter compensation in the main program and the profile to be cut in a sub-routine
using incremantal co-ordinates.
The first profile cuts ok, the tool moves to it's next Y position then everything seems to go a bit strange.
Would someone look at my code and tell me where I'm going wrong.
I'd appreciate any help I can get. Thanks
George
