Free (G-Code Program) Surface Router Table

[Switcher]

This is a small program that I wrote in VB.net.

The program is made to generate the g-code to re-surface your cnc router table.

Enjoy...

You may also need the ".NET Framework Version 1.1" to run this program.

Clean form. I have written similar progs for parametric shapes for door parts.

Never made the forms so appealing though, mine are very spartan. maybe I should spuce them up a bit maybe even some picture boxes. Nice work anyway.

VB is so much nicer than custommacroB!

I added a screenshot of the program, to post #1. You can see the program that is in the .zip file.

One could also use it to surface a piece of wood, etc.
Wish I had this program about a month ago. I went thru the process using a cad dwg, converting to g-code etc.

I am going to make a copy for future use.
Thanks,
Jerry

Anyone use this program yet?

I just noticed I didn't have seperate feeds for"X & Y" , and the "Z-axis" infeed (in the g-code).

I'll update soon...

This is an updated version, I added the Feed for the "X & Y-axis" seperate from the "Z-axis" Feed.

Any chance for the vb project files?

Sure, here you go (Source Code).

Files should work on "VB.net 2003", or anything later.

I ran the program and input my dimensions. The figures in the gcode did not match the figures I had entered in the program. I entered .25 in stepover and .05 in cutting depth. The gcode had .50 in stepover and .5 in cutting depth.

This is an updated version v0.3.

1) Fixed the "Z-axis cutting depth".
