I tried to set tool #9 as a 1/16" rn cutter with a length of cut .25" in
the tool table. basically to get a better idea of hw has I had to
increment a var to get a good finish on the back, nomially 45 degree
angle of buttress thread using the rn tool. 2 problem after I put an M6
T9 in the code, first being tool 9 not found, and secondarily, no place
to spec it as an RN tool.
contents of tooltbl are:
T1 P1 D0.246 ;1/4 inch mill
T2 P2 Z0.4911 D0.125 ;1/8 mill
T3 P3 D0.135 ;5/32 drill
T4 P4 D0.038 ;0.040 drill
T5 P5 D0.041 ;0.045 drill
T6 P6 D0.052 ;0.052 pcb component lead clearance drill
T7 P7 D0.0514 ;placeholder pcb bigger component clearance drill
T8 P8 D0.001 ;interconnect pattern etch
T9 P9 Z6.35 D1.5875 ;1/16"rn tool in mm mode
T10 P10 D0.04 ;a #58 drill
T11 P11 Z-0.5043 D0.0625 ;a .0625 2 fl end mill
T12 P12 D0.03125 ;added 20130917
T13 P13 D0.0015 ;added 20130918
T14 P14 X-0.01 Z-0.6095 D0.025 ;roundover bit
T99 P99 X-1.6505 Y0.6823 D0.0001 ;test of camview-emc, added 20131128
T15 P15 X0 Y0 Z0 D0.15748 ;4mm emd mill
T16 P16 X0 Y0 Z0 D0.15748 ;4mm tool
scuse the word wrap in the T99 line, t-bird can't turn it off
If I remove the DOC in the z box, then it works but the tool image seems
too big. I'd post a snapshot but John has yet to pass any picture I've
posted that was over 150k. I have noted that others can, but not me. So
I snapshotted just the backplot to show what I mean. And why is there
not a shape box to indicate an RN tool. That seems pretty basic to me.
Far more trouble to dup the diameter and shape of the tools cut. But
someday, maybe.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
