boring / bored ... hmm, whatever

for somebody like me from Siemnse / Fanuc background. i persoanlly would've never been able to keep a job.
my dear okuma84, at least actual okuma's osp can become fanuc compatible, by editing a parameter

but can you imagine if there weren't IGF?
i use igf for simple operations, and longhand for optimizations

i could program a thread like this :

Code:
call oexternalmetric TOOL = 2 RPM = 567 PITC(H) = 1.5 ZSTA(RT) = 5 ZEND = -50 METR(IC) = 32 OUTC(HAMFER) = 50 CHAM(FERANGLE) = 5
having the soubroutine build to compute metric threads geometry, using infeeds without changing z ( but spindle phase ), and g34 ( does not use a rectangular toolpath ) : in other words, will behave faster then g71

if you master okuma, you have little to no problem with other cnc's
