My buddy's Mill is a Fadal. I looked up a list of their G codes and most of them are the same. What I didn't see where the G70, G71, and G72 codes, which are all the bolt hole circle, arc, and...

Mactec,

Thank you... I am taking a CNC lathe programming class this semester also. I haven't had issues with NCPlot and the lathe programs which is why I haven't posted on here about it.

Mactec,

Unfortunately, I agree with you are am sure you are correct. It has been interesting to learn though. I started "making things" on a manual mill and lathe so CNC and G code is a huge...

I updated the previous post! Sorry for the confusion. I am working with NC Plot software on my computer.

Thanks again!

I removed the Z0.25 command since it wasn't necessary. I still had to add the G0 though, which is fine but doesn't make sense to me.

I have another...

Hi,

Any idea why this code won't run in NCPlot? I can get either the linear holes or the bolt circle, but not both. If I comment out the G72 line (4th line in the code below), the bolt circle...
