I think you need to mill a circular pocket in each location. I am unaware of there being a G code that will do that for you. You can repeat and rotate/ translate the pocket if you do not want to figure out the coordinates of each location.
Hi,
I am very new to cnc milling so please be patient.
I have a cincinatti arrow 500 (ct control)
the code i am using is for drilling and counter boring :-
6mm hole
G81X40Y0Z-7R2E1
G173X40Y0U330V84D16P8
c/bore 8mm e/mill
G81X40Y0Z-3R2E1
G173X40Y0U330V84D16P8
This works fine, But i want to include a pocket cycle to make 9.3mm c/bore using the 8mm end mill.
any help would be greatly appriciated
Thanks

Thanks for the reply at least now i wont be searching for a G code that doesn't exist.
