| Hello Ardona Excellon drill file format is similar to but not identical to G-code format. There are a couple freeware software lackages which take excellon format and convert to G-code suitable for cnc drilling . I am sorry I do not have a link to hand but if you do a search for excellon to g code converter I am sure you will find them. The other option is to write ( or have it done for you ) a small program to read in excellon drill file and convert to G-code. Both excellon format and g-code are ascii human readable formats. |
