    Re: please, 2 questions about milling on lathe ...

    hello past self of my self

    KI are imaginary vectors for ZC axis

    about C going on shortest path, i had a problem with this code "G00 Z C G42": sometimes it would spin the chuck with a full revolution, even if it was allready positioned where it should be

    like this, if the difference between "C actual position" and "C compensation position" was only 0.001, depending on side, C may move only with 0.001, or the other way arround, thus with 359.999

    i tried to use droop control, but it did not work

    in the end, i did this :

    G00 Z C=compensation_position-0.1
    G00 Z C G42 M15

    and like this, any time C axis will move to the compensation position, it will spin with 0.1±0.001 degrees

    purpose behind all these was to eliminate auxiliary movements when entering or exiting the compensation

    kindly
