General Mach Discussion / Re: Turning UHMW Poly on CNC

I think there is... it is 1083.m1s

I found it
' DRill G83 X (optional)  Z (mandatory) Q (Mandatory) R     
This should work for drilling

Hope that helps

Yeah that is what I was about except of regular turning. The same sort of motion control that G83 gives for drilling.

General Mach Discussion / Absolutley Impressed

Was running turboCNC on my Taig and just upgraded the computer and placed Mach3 on it.  What a difference. the machine is smooth and fast with 35KHz setting and a Xylotex controller. Looking forward to using it on my Bridgeport R2E4 retrofit.

Even though I am just a hobbyist here and Art is great about licensing, I think I will up for a second license just cause I am so impressed.

Yeah to bad there isn't a canned cycle like the G83 for chip breaking on drill operation. I bet someone could write a wizard to do it though. Cut a bit and back up and cut a bit more. Should work good on rough passes.
