Update: G10 L3 seems to be related to tool life and not tool length offset. The lathe i work on says Fanuc Series Oi-TC on the controller and i have just found that specific manual...

At my new job we spend a lot of time adjusting tool offsets with the machine interface. I regularly adjust a tool offset by a couple tenths just to undo that offset adjustment a few minutes later. ...

If it were me I think i would write a VBA macro in NCplot which asks the user to write a list of holes to drill separated by commas. 1,4,5,8. But then I'd have to save it to a flash drive and move...

I'm working on a haas cnc lathe and I need to put a huge counter sink in the end of this part I'm working on, I can drill it with a 90 degree counter sink but I'd really like to clean it up...

That seems like a large fixture to me. Too big for mounting in any vise I've worked with. If you mount right to the table you only have to worry about 2 surfaces being in perfect contact. In a vise...

I wonder what version of dxf file are you exporting? I was using setting R2013. NcPlot was always starting my circle at the 3 o'clock position as well. How did you draw your circle in Solid Works? I...

I gave that a try just now and it didn't work. All the sketches were put on the same layer. I'm looking into layers, it seems if i could just get each arc on a different layer I'd be golden. I...

Your example worked just as you described. I am using DXF files generated with Sold Works though. I'm not certain how to create my geometry on different layers.

When I export a DXF file I have...

I've used NC Plot successfully to generate tool paths by converting DXF files to g code. But today I have found a stubborn problem with this feature of the program.
I have a 3 inch circle I'm...

That worked perfectly. Thank you.

I'm using HAAS milling machines and when I need more than 6 home positions (G54 - G59) I will use G110 through G129. But NcPlot doesn't like those home positions. All of my parts are drawn on top of...

I am using a Haas OE milling machine to drill 6 holes evenly spaced around a circle. I used G70 (Bold Hole Circle) with G83 (Drilling Canned Cycle) very successfully but now I want to add a counter...
