There is a problem with my code when the tool diameter is less than 1/2 the hole diameter. From the back plot it cuts a small hole on center then cuts a larger hole off center. Either your the first to use this program or the first to use it with the tool size less that 1/2 the hole size... in any case you just made history!
Rather than fixing that old code I'll add it to my new G code generator http://gnipsel.com/files/g-code-generator/ JT On 2/14/2014 6:42 PM, Gene Heskett wrote: > Greetings; > > I didn't look to see whose code that is, but I made several passes at > trying to use it to bore a hole .7" deep in a 1" piece of steel this > afternoon, and cannot make sense out of what its giving me. > > I specced a .250 diameter mill, feedrate of 8, depth increment of .015, a > stepover of 25%, 2000 rpm, no bolt size but an .850" pocket .700" deep in > those 2 boxes in the lower left corner. > > It gave me a pocket diameter of .650, several times.
