    Re: RFQ - Provide GCode for Lathe

    post an image. i will convert it. you decide if it works for you. no charge to find out.
  3. Re: Software/ Online tool to modify G-code for unidirectional 'Zig tool path'

    i wrote software to do it.
    the a axis travel of 0.004 inches will produce one pulse for each uStep of the axis.
    on my mill, that's 32000 steps/inch, so 0.004 inches makes 128 pulses (zaps of the...
  4. Re: Software/ Online tool to modify G-code for unidirectional 'Zig tool path'

    i can convert it to code but will the code run your laser?
    sample of how mine does:
