Someone may read this who needs information. Here is a sample of a part running as we type;
N22 (1 MM DIA. 4 FLUTE, CRB EM)
T22 M06
G00 G90 G58 X.028 Y.0985 S11000 M03
G43 Z1. H22 M08 T24
Z.1
This works. Other ways work as well. This is what I'm used to and will continue.
I wrote earlier that I omitted line numbers but I should have clarified that I asked our reseller post writer to add a line number to match the tool number. Makes it easier to get to the tool.
Also, the G43 Z1. is a safe height that we can visually verify before a crash. I've seen people go straight to Z.015 and I might if it was a long running repeat job. I once hand wrote a lathe job that needed every second to count so, after proving the program, I adjusted it to remove as much of the air time as possible.
Still, after all these years it's a fun job, isn't it?
I'd like to tell people to take it easy but sometimes that backfires on me.
