Well it has be quite a long time since I have stopped by here to see what is going on in the Mach3/4 and cnc world but came across an idea today that I tried out that I would be surprised if a bunch of others haven't already come across this little gcoding tidbit. But just in case no one else has I figured I would share it.
I was going to turn down a pin on my little cnc and was about to start writing a little gcode program for it when I thought, I wonder if ole AI Joe (the little AI guy that showed up on my cnc computer one day and I figured he was just another regular Joe app, hence the name) could write it up for me instead. Well I gave him some information about the machine, tooling, material and dimensions and he went right to work and spit out a program, lickity split. After proofing it I had to ask him to change some of the formatting that wouldn't be compatible with my machine and a little bit more guidance on want I was looking for in a tool path geometry he got me something that worked quite well and spit it out faster than I could have typed it out.
Anyway as I stated earlier I would guess that this is old news by now but just in case I have learned that you never assume everyone or anyone knows something just because it was obvious to you.
