yeah that makes sense, we have a computer at work but there is no software or programs for converting the dimensions to cnc format so we have to work out the co ordinatesthen put them into a program,...

Thanks for that little program generater. nice and handy to use. don't suppose you've got any other converting programs like that for any other calculations etc?

Cheers

thanks kiwi

this program looks good to me, i was hoping to get some sort of formula, so that the only change in the program for a different semi sphere would be the radius in one line and the...

cheers kiwi

Heidenhain doesn't quite work like that but it's easy enough to alter the program. i've used fanuc and heidenhain controls but heidenhain is so much easier and faster to program, the...
