  3. Re: Another Silly Newbie Question I Imagine...

    Just out of curiosity, what type of machine are you programming this for? I see code that I don't see in most milling machine programs for instance the G28U0W0 makes it look like a 4 axis machine.
  4. Re: Another Silly Newbie Question I Imagine...

    No. Most NC controls require a short "lead in" to allow the control to compensate for the cutter radius. I don't see any G41 or G42 in your code but, what in MASTERCAM is called the operations...

    Re: Small problem turning brass

    As a general rule I try to turn the smaller diameter first both to minimize burring and also to maintain the rigidity of the part. In other words if you were turning the whole thing down to 1/4"...

    Re: hwacheon

    I am unfamiliar with this particular control but maybe you could change your M00s to M01s (optional stops) for a work around. Also, take a look at the G-code in the line or two just after the M00....
