Milling ABS (pulse) ring slots in intercon

Post by bbatarelo »

Hello,

I'd like to mill 60 radial slots on my custom ABS ring. Basically everything is a lathe work except those slots. Is that something that's doable in intercon (acorn, most recent version of cnc 12)?
I don't have cnc12 in front of me now so I can't look around at the moment. The way I see it is either as a bolt hole pattern with pocket milling (under angle) if something like that exists or milling a slot and then looping while rotating geometry by 6 degrees in every iteration and I have no idea how to achieve that.

Thank you,
Bruno

Can you upload a drawing?

Pencil sketch will be ok also.

This is easy to do.

Make one slot and use the rotate cycle.

Much obliged! Had no idea about that feature.
