I usually do very straight-forward turning with nothing fancy but I need to face off a 1.5" dia plexi rod with the end profile being concave or convex and I'm experiencing some sort of "mantal block". From reading I've done I think I need to specify plane with G18 and then use G2 or G3 to do my pacing. On a convex "facing" I would like the center of the face to b .025 "higher" than the edges. Think of my facing cut causing the end of the rod to resemble the face of a lens
Could someone provide me programming examples of how this would work, or links to some good examples?
Thanks in advance...
