Using eoffset functionality - I created a small hal component that calculates a polygon based on the tool orientation - moving x and y accordingly.. It is based on work that andy did on his lathe.
You enter tool radius, number of sides, inscribed radius of the polygon. (still a work in progress - I don't have a way a easy to set the tool or polygon orientation.) based on this formula https://math.stackexchange.com/a/41954 I forgot to copy my current code off the machine.. will this week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9tWtEG1Exc _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
