That really is not a bug but a code example that was not written correctly.

Actually Inc programming is among teh simplest ways one can program. It is teh easiest to follow most modern blueprint values. Rarely do you see drawings in ABS values. Now can it get complicated ?? yes if you want it to be (;-). The best part about it is it is easy to use the same code over and over again. For expmple if you program to machine a hole if you do it in inc you can use that same code anywhere as the code describes teh hole function NOT where you are going to bore it. Works very well in SUBS and parametric programing.

In teh old world we always moved to teh center point location before starting to machine a circle , hole ,bolt circle, anything circular. This allows a quick check to make SURE teh function is located correctly. Teh move to a center point is also always notated in teh Gcode

But as always to each their own (;-) TP

MACH TOOL BOX / Re: Macro, Thread milling NPT thread, Inside/outside

IF you set teh resolution close enough you can machine a taper hole or a cone. Just bare in mine that it cannot remove teh excess material and you have to account for that in cutting the feature

Here is an example in G91 mode. Do keep in mind that at times Mach3 cannot display the toolpath correctly with some gcode programs. OLD bug.

Here is another way (normal) to write it in G90 mode.

A lot of things hinge on IF you are in G90 or G91 mode. Yes I fat fingered the F90 instead of a G90 (;-) Once you invoke the G16 then all XY moves are Radius(x) and polar values(y) until the G15 is called to cancel the mode.

General Mach Discussion / So long Gentlemen

« on: February 29, 2016, 08:38:43 PM »

Fellows it is Time that I left the Mach3 forum.  I have spent too much time here and have grown too close to the process. It is time to let it go.

Moderators PLEASE delete this account. I could not find a way to do it.

So Long and may your lives be filled with CHIPS , (;-) TP

Mach3 and G-Rex / Re: Having Problem Controlling the 4th axis in 4 axis milling[IMPORTANT]

« on: February 27, 2016, 04:11:56 PM »

Are we talking about a MILL or a Lathe ??   

In Mill mode there  are NO commands to make the A axis to run continueusly . ONLY the spindle can run continueusly.
