Well I ended up going to a week long course provided by G&L. Not a whole lot of difference's in the programming from the 18 except you can no longer use "U" and "W" as an incremental move. :confused:

Can anyone provide me with the formula to caculate tool offset to machine a degree with a round insert?

For example I want to machine a 36.2" x 10 degree OD with a 1/2" rd insert. How can I...

Well let me stop everyone from rushing to answer my question so it wont congest the board server(HeHe). I decided to purchase the G&L.

I would like to start by saying "thank you for contributing". I can always use a calculator (be nice if one had everything you needed). A converter for fractions would be nice for those brain fart...

Some specs.
Discharge diameters: 12" to 44" ...

I have machined too many to count 100" Impellers for slurry pumps and they average around $110,000 each. And are made of white iron.
