This is unexpected. Radial is the default for these functions about everywhere
else. This should be made more explicit.
I would imagine that most CNC operators will expect degrees. Can you
imagine trying to type in a right-angle in MDI in radians?
G1 @20 ^ 90
is far more practical than
G1 @20 ^ 1.570796327
I agree with Andy on this one Steffan, for CNC, radians is a PITA.
My current project is a hard maple vise screw, about 18.5" inches long.
To carve a
2 start, 12mm pitch thread is 187,000 degrees, LinuxCNC tracks that
perfectly. As a
retired broadcast engineer, everything I've had to do has always been
done in degrees.
Including measuring guy wire tensions by the intercept method using a
riflescope is
SOP.
