    "Stitch" two programs together

    I an green in the programming dept. I am using VisualMill to machine some oval pockets in delrin. I want to do a roughing pass across my block going east/west & my finishing pass north/south. The only way to do this in visual mill is rotating the part on a 4th axis, which I do not have. I do not want to rotate the part. I could program the cuts seperately & load them seperately, or how would I go about combing the two as one program? I hope this was not confusing.

    Remove the m02 from the bottom of the first program then past the second program under the first

    Then trim the fat until you have what you want ,save back ups In case you delete something you need

    CNC programs are just text files. you can copy/paste whatever you want wherever you want. just use copy/paste and any common text editor.
