The values will not update until the M30 runs and that triggers the M1030 to run. You can stop and start mid program if needed and it shoudl NOT trip the m30.

But yes you can create a button to do the subtract as welll as it can add. Use the same code but instead of the + sign substitute the - sign.

I guess I read that wrong. You want to cut the pockets where the locks locate.  That would take a small router.

You do not modify the M30 Just the M1030. You MAY NOT have an M1030 so you have to create it.

WHen the M30 runs it CALLS the m1030.

MAKE sure you are optimum on the hole size for tapping and are using the correct H# for the tap application.  SUper tight fit toleranace on threads do not always make the best thread, usually all you get it is broken taps in an expensive part to fix.

A small bench top size cnc mill with a small 4th axis would do all you need to do.  The lock plates are not very big. Th 4th is handy for cutting square ends on shafts and cutting the sear notches perfectly in time.

Just a thought, (;-) TP
