Hello all .. I would really appreciate it if someone could pass along a sample G code program for a part being machined with a waterjet or plasma. I can read the code, I'm just looking for formatting and such.

It would be great if you could just make a text file ... maybe put a note next to the M code telling what it controls ... like :

M42 (turns jet on)

If you can email the file as an attachment ... I would really appreciate it. You can email it to [email protected]

Also a question : Do most waterjet or plasmas have a controllable Z axis ... or is the Z axis manually moved ... the cutting started ... etc.

I know this is asking for some time ... but I know their must be a good soul out there.

Thanks in advance.
Kenney
