turning g code
« on: February 07, 2011, 11:44:36 AM »
I am just getting started and I would like a G code for turning down rod to a predetermined O.D.

I would like the whole code so that I can see how the code works.   I am using a gear cutting wizard currently and I can make it do what I want but I can't see the whole code and this make thing harder to learn.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Jay

Jay,
Try using one of the lathe wizards. There is one for turning a rod  down to a diameter.
You can play alll you want and will learn by doing.

Rich,

When I was reviewing the Wizards this morning, they looked the same as my Mill Wizards.

I will check again when I get home!!

Thanks Jay

Jay,
I just assumed that you were talking about using the the lathe along with the lathe screen.
You will find lathe wizards but the mill wizards willl not be listed.  ???
