G71, G73 lathe roughing cycles
« on: July 29, 2006, 01:27:37 AM »
Is there any interest in writing a wizard for these two lathe roughing cycles? G71 is a really nice general non reentry roughing cycle, G73 will do a reentry, like a spool, etc. I have been using Surfcam to write the G code for this, but honestly it's a pain to work with, and am guessing that most of the CAM programs around aren't much better as they are all targeted for mill work. Just a thought....

I don't think you will see the G71 and 73 cycles in Mach3 :( I do think you will see some simple cam for lathe in the next year or so :) There is so much to code and so little time :(
