Trying to engrave a p/n on the face of a part, this is the 1st time milling on the lathe using EIA. My controller is a T32-3 and it doesn't acknowledge G17 or G122.1 G codes.
The problem I have is that if I do not use a G12.1 the program runs fine except that the X values are in diameter mode and the C axis feed rate is really really slow. If I use G12.1 the program runs in Radius mode but the C axis doesn't function correctly. The program might tell it to go to C-122. and the monitor will show it going to C26. And the C axis will only go from C25. to C27.2 no matter what the program tells it. After the program is complete all I have to show for it is a small straight line being milled in my part. Any help would be appreciated. I have attached a small portion of the program I am using.
