Centroid Community CNC Support Forum

Hello,

I am really a beginner, and I messed up one of my POM stocks while learning, so I would like to face mill (I have a 40 mm face mill tool ) with Intercon to get back to a flat surface. Is there any way to do that with conversational mode ? I have an Acorn Centroid Pro.
Regards

Yes.

Use the "Face" canned cycle (F5/Cycles -> F4/Face).

If possible, you will want to set your starting X at least a cutter radius off one side (e.g. off the left, or minus); and set your facing length (X travel) to the width of the part plus the cutter diameter. That way, the turnaround will be done fully off the part, leaving a nicer finish.
