We have just bought our first wire machine, (obviously 2nd hand because of the model's age, about 1990).
So far we have successfully transferred programs to and from the machine via floppy. We have the manual, though it was missing all chapter 5 pages which have the G code info, I will have that on Monday morning.
What I would really like to do is learn how to take skim cuts. We have successfully cut around several shapes with one cut only.
We don't know how to get it to go back and take a couple more skim cuts.
Could someone please show me in a short program, what it is in that refers to skim cuts and where it is written in the file for the machine to understand it?
Thank you very much, John
