Hi all,
I'm trying to figure out the different Gcode command on a retrofitted EmcoTurn120. I'm trying to cut an internal profile as shown in the picture below. I wrote the Gcode below but I get very strange toolpaths when i run this on the lathe. It refuses to cut the arc's as I've designed them. It just takes of in the complete other direction. I've tried altering the G2/G3 commands, and changed the setting on the machine to absolute mode but I still can't get the proper toolpath. Any help on this problem is greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!
