BlockMill GCode Creation Tool

[Toaster]

Hey folks I created this web tool for making G Code:



This is something that I made for myself to quickly create some simple G code toolpaths, and it turned out a bit better than I expected. I thought maybe folks here would find it interesting/useful.

I mostly work on Centroid controllers, so while the G code this tool generates is as generic as possible it only has been tested on Centroid up to this point.

Check it out, I'd be interested to see if anyone else finds this useful. I'm sure it's got some bugs, and some missing features. If there are enough people that find this interesting I may consider adding more to it.

cool. thanks for posting!
has some Intercon vibes to it.

That's a bit what I was going for... just something simple that you could make some common toolpaths with....

Check out the circular pocket combined with a helix entry. You get nice tool loading that way if you're doing a circular pocket or a slot

very cool, Intercon is certainly due for a 2025 make over, when we get some of these other big ticket programming items in the bag we will circle back around to it and combine ideas!
