In a single direction (read: type 1 cycle) - either. The moves generated in either case are the same, it's simply the syntax which they are called with (and what bugs it may introduce elsewhere).
I have only ignored it so far since it reduces the number of things to worry about at one time. For type 2 (pockets, much further down the line) it's potentially a bit more complex, but should still be workable. Since linuxcnc actually stores tool shapes (well, front/back angle and radius) the issues some controllers have with changing tip direction can probably be avoided. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Radek [mailto:ch...@timeguy.com] Sent: 27 August 2012 19:22 To: Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) Subject: Re: [Emc-users] G71 lathe roughing cycle On Mon, Aug 27, 2012 at 05:35:28PM +0100, Ben Potter wrote: > 7) Completely different method to other controllers Like others I don't have a problem with this when other controllers are excessively weird or contrary to how ngc works. I am curious which, if either, approach (C or remap) would eventually be able to work with cutter compensation turned on. For most lathe tool shapes it's necessary to use compensation whenever you have an arc or even a straight feature that's not parallel to an axis. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
