you can create this slot using tool comp. your manual for the machine should have specics on this but g41 is your comp left and g42 your comp right. most machines are finicky about which "view" to consider your left and right. as far as your "c axis", some lathes have g12.1 and an additional g16 code to automatically convert your "y" axis into "c" axis degrees. the drawing a got was for a 19mm slot, which is .748 i was sure exactly where your .596 slot was. any extra clarification you can provide will get me closer to giving you a much more detailed answer. you will also need to change axis planes (ie g17, g18, g19) |
