    C axis question

    Hi all! I would like to ask if there is a way to limit my C axis values so that they will not exceed 360 degrees. I am trying to mill using C axis around a contour and the tools uses a certain depth step to go around the contour.

    Did you check your Machine Definition under General Machine Parameters? Break rotary motion?

    Thanks txcncman. I haven't tried before it but it doesn't work... I just tried to draw a simlier geometry like a face contour involving more C axis rotation but I get results exceeding 360 degrees again.
    Could it be something I do wrong?

    Can you run it as a sub and use incremental moves? May solve the problem.

    Oh God, nothing! I've been playing with the settings all day long It just seems for me that this setting Break rotary motion doesn't change anything...
    Thank you for trying Wally
