Figure Eight Oil Grooves with a lathe

Post by suntravel »

Made a makro to mill figure eight oil grooves...

Could be made with CAM also, but for turning parts I am faster using only Intercon.

One way is to copy CAM code into files made with Intercon, but if you have to change something, you have to handcode, or copy again...

Both to slow, IMHO better to make functions with macros which can be used in Intercon. That is what you can see here.

A macro to mill all sizes of this type of Oil grooves, that is easy to use with a few parameters.
