Hi Bill
I am working with 4 chiron/fanuc and I am very new with the programing(1 ½ years) I have a program called Visual gibbs and now my boss wants mee to make some holes vertical , sorry my english :-)
Can I with a 90° "head" mont. in spindel go with a G84 M84 in the X or Y direction, because the program gibbs can not do that, so I have to programm in the iso-codes.
F.ex. G0G90X-200Y-200 Z-12.5 G18 G84 X-10 R2 P500.....
I have not been on any cnc-School or anything, all I can do is: learned by experience, but the machines runs 16 hours a day any way:-)
Or can I switch the plan with G17/18? I have no expertise to do so but it will be fun to "play" with. If you understand my quest, and if you can give me an example it would be highly appreciated. I can send you a drawing of the 90° "head" dont know what you call/name it over there.
Best regards
