the pin offset could also do edm orbiting there is a point in the process where the tool is moved in a pattern to exaggerate its size since the pattern has a centre, its called an orbit ( tho it can be circular, square of hemispherical classicly ) i fiddled with injecting a sine & cosine generator connected to a UV mounted on end of Z motion past a certain position was feed to amplitude of UV stepgen via the sin /cos if the tool retracted to this 'start point' the orbit was 0 if the tool was 5 units down, the orbit was 5 units it was sort of a 45degree function response ( 1 down = 1 out ) i had been thinking along similar lines when i played this trick as the depth increases, the spark energy decreases ( as the process changes from roughing to finishing) since the energy is smaller, the excursion from centre must increase so the sparks can 'reach' :)
