Hi All

New on this forum but got a problem transferring from one old cnc to a newest one

we used some good old Thermwood cnc 5 axis but as they are getting very old they will go off production

Need to transfer the parts programs on to newest equipment

Programs in questions were create manually at the time, back in the 90's, with what we call the hand held controller. No 3D etc of the parts
When creating, with Thermwood, by pressing a function key, the last 3 points will create a circle in an" absolute plan" (G72ot G73) not in G17 18 or 19.

The function G72 or 73 is not recognize on the other cnc. If you simply mod the 72 to 02, for example, you will create a circle on G17 (if selected)

Used for trimming plastic parts

Does any one has a solution for this, any help would be very appreciated

regards

H
