General Mach Discussion / Re: how to bore 90 degrees

OK do you want to DRILL/BORE a hole or cut a circle with a mill bit.
IF drill/ bore you can use the canned cycles and switch planes G18/G19
IF cut a circle I don't think the wizzards can do code for other than the standard G17 (XY) plane.
BUT you may be able to get the Gcode position values from the wizzard and switch axis in the code then use the correct PLANE.
There is always a way just depends on how bad you want to do it(;-) LOL
