Can you do an internal radius?
I'm wondering if you can program an internal radius? I can do an external CW and CCW but not internal? Surely there must be a way?

I don't undertand ... Do you mean the CAM system won't allow internal arcs ?
The machine should move XZ in an arc whenever G2 or G3 is programmed regardless of anything else - it shouldn't know (or even care) that the tool is stuck up the middle of a billet.

I was talking about the software on the "quick programs". I'll look to program using g code.Denford Admin wrote:I don't undertand ... Do you mean the CAM system won't allow internal arcs ?
