Holy crap, I'm outta breath after typing that.
Anyways...just curious; my Heidenhain experience is limited to HSM Mikron work. Now I'm at the helm of an old Bridgeport. I recall hearing that you could only run 2 axes at a time with the Heidenhain, and I want to do a helical entry to cut out a pocket. Is this possible? I could zig-zag to depth, but I think the helical is much more efficient, plus it's a radiused pocket and I want to blend everything nicely....anyone know anything here?
TIA
Mike
