I didn't know that Bostomatic could do that, I hadn't ever seen this kind of capability until I saw it on a Hurco.  Also I have yet to see any other control able to program an arc on the 4th axis without the assistance of CAM, not a problem on the Hurco.   Jon Wilshusen   Pre-Wel Mfg., Corp.

How would you Re-start a G code program at the point of breakage?   Simple! If you have a 1982 Bostomatic SPCII control. You can start anywhere you want.   As far as the Fanuc controls we have it's pretty well an impossibility when it comes to the mills.   When a lathe tool breaks in the middle of a can cycle with a Fanuc 6T control, you can stop the lathe. Change to manual. Jog off the part. Change the broken insert. Jog back to where you were. Switch back to program and press cycle start.   Regards, Michael Senack snip..
