Fun stuff

Specifying a negative finish cut should cause macros to do all the roughing and leave the (positive) amount of material behind for a separate finishing op.

Typical Header

#<_z_clearance> = 0.0 ; clearance height
#<_rampang>     = 5.0 ; ramp angle in degrees for helical entry

G10 L1 P1 Z0.0 R0.25 ; set tool P1 to Z-offset Z0.0 and radius R0.25
T1   ; set tool to T1
M06  ; manual toolchange

M101 ; enable z-axis
G90  ; absolute coordinates
G54  ; fixture #1

F5.0 ; feedrate

Material removal

o call [x1][y1] [x2][y2] [width] [ztop][zbot] [finishcut] o call [x][y] [stepdown] [ztop][zbot]

Drilling

o call [x][y] [ztop][zbot] [(peck)]; fully automoatic drilling op; drills at x,y from ztop to zbot in optional increments of peck (full retraction)

o<drill_man> call [x][y] ; fully manual drilling op; z axis entirely disabled o<drill_retr> call [x][y] ; semi-manual drilling op; z axis retracts, but disabled on downstroke
