    Trying to Learn CNC

    I'm working on making a part on a BridgePort Mill DX-32.
    Just for the record I could go to the Manual Mill beside this mill and make it No Problem but I want too learn CNC.

    Now what I am trying to do is not working. I dont know where in the code to put a Feed rate in for my 2 1/4 fly cutter.

    I have a 2in x 2in x 16in long Square 6061 alum.
    I have it in a vice and want to face the top off(Square it up).

    Here is what I tried with no tool in Collet Today.

    T1;
    S200 M3;
    G0 X0 Y0 Z0;
    G90 G70 G40;
    G01 X-20.0 F0.006;
    M30;

    The mill goes to my start point and rapids the 20inch length.

    I changed my mind on the Flycutter and used a 1" end mill. Because I need to buy a different tool bit to do that.
    I use a G173 code to zig zag and that worked for me.
    I will write that down and when I get some bits I try it.

    Thanks
