Hello,

How dose the Centroid CNC control deal with Drilling holes in an G18 or G19 Plain can it do it?
Like if my tool was on the X minus side and the part was on the X plus side.
Typically I would program:

G19
G83 Z.5 Y2. X1. R-.3 Q.125 F2.0

To drill 1” deep in X axis.

No, I do not believe the Centroid/Ajax software has that feature.

You would have to write a custom macro, and call it with G65, to perform that type of operation.

I was going to do the custom macro but I got thrown off when I realized I couldn’t use a system variable figure out what plain I was in, and there is no While/DO statements.

But I did get a reaction on the graph screen when I put 16385 into parameter 166 and programed a B axis angle and a G183.

Based on the graph I don’t think it’s entirely right but it’s a start.
