rotation

[marcT]

hi all,

im new to the site,

just to refresh my memory, i used to run a rover336 yrs ago but since then moved onto other areas of programin...

anyone know the Gcode for rotation?? its so simple yet i cant remember it for the life of me!!

thanks and sorry for such a basic Q

Cheers,
Mark

On every machine I've seen around here, the G-code for rotation is M03. (or M04 for reverse rotation)

[Ryan Jagoda]

Sorry, I should have also noted that G96 is constant surface foot, and G97 is constant RPM. So the code would look like this:

G96 S650 M03

to turn at 650 SFM, and

G97 S650 M03

to turn at 650 RPM.

A question is never stupid until you ask it more than 7 times. Good luck!

Do you mean spindle rotation, or coordinate rotation? What's a Rover336? What control?

A Rover 336 is a router..... Well, a multiple spindle machine anyway.... and a big one too ...

What rotation are you talking about? Magazine? Aggregate spindle? spindle angle? Spindle "on" should be M3/M4 ,... 4 th axis should be "A" with a M11/M10... be more specific please......And depending on the year, the control will be a few different choices so the code may be slightly different.
