You've got the right idea. Some thoughts, looking here: http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/gcode.html#sec:G2-G3-Arc You already found To program an arc that gives more than one full turn, use a P word specifying the number of full or partial turns of arc. and probably also If a line of code makes an arc and includes rotary axis motion, the rotary axes turn at a constant rate so that the rotary motion starts and finishes when the XYZ motion starts and finishes. Lines of this sort are hardly ever programmed. To do full circles, don't program X and Y words: No axis words and one or more offsets must be programmed for full circles. So, starting at X=0 Y=0 C=0 you could have 10 full turns like G2 C3600 J10 P10 No looping is required. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
