Hi all,

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to program a radius in the x & z axis on a cnc mill I have a fanuc oi-mb control?

I am using a 1/2" ball em. and need to mill an ellipse in the face of a part....

How about using G18?

Thanks Ger21,

I Was Just Looking At That Never Used It Before But Looks Pretty Straight Forward...

One Thing I Am Not Sure Of Is This A Modal G Code... So After I Am Done With The Radius I Must Have To Call Back Up G17, Is This Correct?

I think so, but I've never used it myself either.
