And I will take out the MH
Thanks Brady
I did change the safe Z to 2" for that reason.
Brady,
Is this anywhere close to what I'm looking for? For a part file of course.
zero material at center
MH, 'move to o,o in X,Y,;with safe-Z pull-up
J2,new x=6.5,y=4.3
in the command section, got it.
Guess I need to learn how to write a simple SB code.:eek:
I think I understand.
but where does this get typed in?
Type the following into SB3:
SO,1,1 'Turns on router
MZ, .225 'Moves Z down
MB,360 'Move indexer 1 revolution
JZ,1 'Jog Z up to safe...
Can somebody point me in the right direction.
I need to cut a half round groove in a cylinder. Brady has written instructions for me but I'm not having much luck.
The cylinder diameter is .95" ...
Ron,
I got it. Dummy Me,:eek: went back and read the posts again and saw "edit the ones in red".:rolleyes:
Guess I should have read it a little more careful.
X=-3.105
Y=-6.913
Z=2.0 I need the Z to raise to this height after Zzero, this way it does not crash into the indexer.
These are the numbers I need. But before I get too confused and plug them...
'These values are used in the ZZero routine
&my_hasZzero=1
&my_ZzeroThickness=0.121
&my_ZzeroInput=1
&my_ZzeroSafeZ=2.0
Is this correct?
So this would be what I'm looking for?
'These values are used by the XYZero program
&my_hasProx=1
&my_XYzeroSafeZ=1
&my_XYzeroOffsetX=-3.105
&my_XYzeroOffsetY=-6.913
&my_XYzeroOffsetZ=1...
Hey Ron
If I need to raise the Z to a safer height, say 2" it would be done there also?
Thanks Ron, That's easy enough.
I knew there was a way.
I need a little help.
I'm using a buddy with a PC router for reference.
