Whenever I need to do this, I just export as DXF and use the standard
drilling tools in Cut2D .. works a treat, has automatic drill diameter
recognition etc.
Last board I drilled was 400 holes in some Rogers RO4003C ... and then I
did DIY plated through holes :)

Don't really need the hole carving feature either. From what I can see it
doesn't use the G81 either so results in a much bigger program.
There are programs that use V bits and carve out around traces. I have the
bits but my CNC router is too shaky and not precise enough (yet) for that

How do you intend to use that in HAL?
You need a HAL pin, as I said earlier.

John Figie
How would that be accomplished?
Since posting that question, I found on page 868 of masters docs, that
what I want is a
named global:
#<_abs_z>
and it does change with running Z up and down

You need the value in HAL,
Can't you just use kinematics to accomplish this?

Greetings all;
I am about to straighten the post of my go704, which is not straight, it
leans and this causes problems
when rigid tapping because the tap if trammed correctly is being moved
sideways as it descends into the
hole its tapping. I now have a circular square to set on the table and
15 matches
