Need Help!- Paramertric pocket Biesse Rover

[bigz1]

I was wondering how I could create a parametric program to cut rectangular pockets with a large cutter and and use a small cutter to square the corners? I would like to be able to make adjust the hole size and its location for future projects.

-Wath is the control of your machine?

-Are you just cutting the contour of the pocket or you want to remove all the stock inside?

-DO you want that the small cutter make all the contour of the pocket(easier to pogram) or just finish the corner(a little bit more difficult)?

-Do you want to program tool radius in the macro call, or automatically search
it in the offset table?

-DO you want to be able to have multiple pass to reach the final depth

-"I would like to be able to make adjust the hole size and its location for future projects." Wath hole are you talking about? Is it the pocket itself?

My controller is a 481

I am using a small cutter to remove all the contour of the pocket.

I want to be able to program the tool radius in the macro call.

One pass is all I need to reach the final depth.

My mistake about adjusting the hole parametrically. I meant to say adjust the size and location of the pocket.

Battwell I would appreciate it if you could send me some code. Although I have recently moved from the UK to NZ.

Many thanks Liam
