I am going to cut & paste your program in one ALL style file with % as the first and last line. I will change your program numbers to 11112,11113,11114 so they will be saved as different...

I sent the GW basic program to a friend who writes software and he thinks he can do something that works on the new Windows 7 or 8 PC's. If you would post a short version of one of your...

I wrote this program in GW basic to separate the long "ALL" file into separate files. It's logic is to open the long ALL file and begin inputting lines of code. It checks each new line to...

What control are you using to get the frigure 8 groove to work? We were never able to make it track while we were grooving bronze bushings with any control accept the AB 7365. We were able...

We did this years ago on a Jones & Lamson 312A with a AB 7365 control. We were never able to do it on the newer controls Cinncy, Warner Swasey, Hass or any of the various Okuma controls. The groove...

After reinstalling the renishaw software about 4 times we decided to change all our progams with #500 series variables to #600 series and have had no more problems. Thank goodness for "search &...

We are trading our Haas HS1-RP for a Haas EC-400 with probe and full fourth axis. I am wondering if we can have the tapers on the Cat 40 tools off the HS1 reground. I know it would change the gage...

By golly you are right. We fixed it at the machine but never in the office. It does work pretty well. I have never used it to mill a round hole. Would have to add a line to make a full...

Here is a macro I use to mill spiral face grooves in out parts. Maybe you can adapt it to your needs

Some people say just use a NPT endmilll with the right taper built in and mill just like a straight end mill. We have used this method for 20 years. Some people say you have to follow the taper...

On the Haas G53 is not tied to any other coordinate system. It is distance and direction from machine zero. The X numbers are in the range of zero to minus 40.0 on a 40 inch "X" machine and zero to...

This is the way we do it.

Can you use GOTO to jump past the lines you want to block delete

Ex. IF [ #501 LT 7 ] GOTO200;

N200 would be the line to jump to

"G01 z-.050 D01 f4.0 (feed down .050)
G01 x.3438 f4.0 (move over to edge of circle)
G02 I.3438 J0.0 (circle clockwise)
G01 x2.0 (clear part)"

I think after a quick look you need to have a...

Goto MDI mode and type in #100=2
hit cycle start and see if you get an error message about unknown code.
I have checked with Google and can't find any examples of WINCNC code.

Ok!!
I'm trying to wrap my head around this job. If you are making this sine wave pattern in a 4' x 8' sheet, that is a lot of material to remove with a .25 dia tool. You will be 2.0 in. deep from...

How far from crest to crest? Are your waves perfect radii from top of crown to the pitch diameter or mid point of the wave. You could use a ball end mill to cut the valleys and a corner rounding...

Just found out that you don't need to do a #599=#599+1. When you use P1 and (##) it counts by 1 for you. Press CURNT COMDS then PAGE DOWN 3 times to bring up the...

Check your operators / programming manual under G47. Mine is page 122. It explains it pretty well.
The variable is stored under #599
do #599=#599+1 between each part

Check this out as well

If you have macros here is an example of milling the holes in a pattern.
It uses G91 incremental to make the threading cuts and absolute to position to the next hole.
I have only tested this on our...

This is the way we program thread mill threads. This is based on X0. Y0. being the center of the thread and is in absolute mode. You could use G52 to shift program zero and put the thread milling...

Here are some pics of the right angle head milling & c-boreing holes

Nope

We used the program below to mill and c-bore 3 holes on a flat bar with a right angle head
mounted on our E C-1600 Haas Horizontal. We now have a VF-3 so we don't do this part on the...

Tool comp won't work in G18 or G19 depending on which axis your cutter is pointing to.
We have a macro we use to mill G12 or G13 type round pockets with a right angle head. If you have macros...

Do you need the G97 to turn off "Constant Surface Speed " since it has not been turned on earlier in the program with a G96? This is how the top of our programs look.
