No decimal points are used so 800 = 8.00mm and 50 = 0.50mmĪfter each cycle the tool returns to the cycle start position. The RH cutting tool is positioned at 16mm diameter and the end of the bar. In the code below the bar is 16mm diameter extending 25mm from the chuck jaws. There are 2 methods of programming, Absolute or Incremental that is used below. To part the work off also only needs 1 line of code. Threading either metric or inch is also a single line entry for threads from 0.25 to 2mm. On the lathe a single line of code will face the end of a bar, another line will turn any amount off the bar at the chosen depth per pass and selected cutting feedrate.

I use a 1985 Emco 5cnc lathe and an Emco F1 cnc mill, both are programmed by manual G&M code entry, either at the machine control pad or via an RS232 link to a computer.
Having said that I have never seen a problem with Mach 3 / Win XP which just takes over the PC at a lower level than DOS. The PC's housekeeping issues are avoided by using a separate motion controller that does all the time-critical stuff, with USB or (better) Ethernet link to the PC. Nigel, if you search the archives here there has been quite a lot of discussion about the packaged controllers - initiated especially by the late John Stevenson, rightly highly respected here, who fitted quite a few of them in upgrading older Denford CNC mills.
