G code help C-X axis

[slkret]

Hello to everyone. I'm a new poster and need some G code help. I am a wood gear clock builder who is tired of hand cutting gears. I'm exploring the possibility of adding CNC to my old Rockwell mill. the problem that I have is that the Y axis travel is too small for the gear sizes I want to cut. One solution is to use a rotary axis (C) along with my X axis to cut the gear tooth profile. I'll be using either Turbocnc or Mach2mill to drive my controller. I will be cutting epicyclic gear profiles. With wood gear clocks that profile is often approximated as a circular arc segment. I have written g code using g2 and g3 for cutting using the X and Y axes and the code looks good in a simulation. I need to do the same thing now using the C and X axis and am not sure how to set this up.......Help me please.

Don't know a thing about the controllers you mentioned.
The method you are looking for is "Milling Interpolation" which translated the Catresian XY system to Polor Coordinates.
You would implement the Milling Interpolation G-Code then use the G2/G3 X/Y code you've already simulated, the control would translate to X/C moves to generate programmed profile.
Good luck!
