G code download?

Post by midy »

Can anyone tell me if the g code is available from the video Keith made on the techno lathe? It would make a great test program for my/any new build i think...

cheers

I don't think the complete file is there, just the profile?

I checked my lathe and the pawn is in the "nc files' folder. Also looked in the encoder_required folder and there are some threading files there. I did not load them to verify that they were the one in the video. Open them up from CNC12 and graph to see if they are the one you are looking for

The pawn was cut using the G70/G71 profile cycle. With the G71/G0 cycle with the G71 part of the cycle there are parameter/values and then the profile of the part is defined. With the G71 cycle all of the g-code moves for roughing is is done behind the scenes. So do you not see line by line g-code moves for the roughing part of the cycle. The pawn was created using Intercon. In Intercon you can see the fields you fill in for the G71/G70 cycle.
