But to make that really simple we could mandate that spindle speeds all be stated in radians per second. Fanuc - degrees. (But offers G51 part rotation in deg and G52 in rad) Duet - radians. Mach3 - degrees Fagor - degrees Mitsubishi - degrees Should the G76 compound slide be in radians, to cut those ISO 1.0472 radian or Whitworth 0.95993 radian threads? Tool frontangles and backangles? I am a physicist, and I am fully aligned with the applicability of radians for calculations. But G-code is in the realm of geometry / navigation where degrees are the appropriate unit. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
