I looked at the gawk man page, didn't see any mention of floating point math so I kept on looking. Bash only does integer. Didn't see any mention of sed & math or floating point. It turns out the easiest way is add a G92 x2.195 before the first move in the top of the file, and a G92.1 to clear it at the bottom. But I've changed the location of the tool change, so I'm now making a contact gage to sit on the table to set drill lengths and will add the probing code after each M6. That's a heck of a lot better than having to edit 24k LOC line by line. :) I have nfs working both ways now too, which means I can put pcb-gcode output files directly on the mill from pcb-gcode. >From the properties list, it looks like about 3 hours to make one board plus bit changes & board remounting. Needs more spindle rpms by at least 10x. Question, what ipm feeds for a 60 degree sharp pointed carbide bit, running about 3 thou deep, would be recommended when 2500 revs is all you have?
