Ok guys so, my first post on here was about an issue I was having on an operation my shop is taking on. The programming for the part was over 55 pages in NC. So in an effort to reduce the program size and increase the ease of minor cutting changes someone recommended that I use a G13 code which on my Haas tm2 is ccw Circular milling and pocketing. With a lack of Cam software I am doing this manually so I would appreciate if anyone who knows the G13 programming technique to give me pointers with my example.
Work piece: 1018crs round slug: 5"od 4" long
Goal: pocket a cavity 2" deep by 4-1/2" diameter
Assume: tool length is 2.04 out of collet, and using a 1/2" 4 flute coated carbide endmill. XYZ0 is center top of the part, and there is a 3/4 hole drilled in the center through the part.
Code example:
G90 G54 G17 G20;
T1 MO6 D1;
S2400 M03;
G43 H01;
G00 X0Y0;
G00 Z0.01 M08;
G13 G91 Z-0.5 I0.375 K2.25 Q0.03 F30 L4;
I understand this is an incomplete program no beginning and end etc. my question is to understand the mechanics of using a g13 code. Will this segment dictate to the machine to cut my cavity in 4 levels each a half inch? Is this all that is need to create the desired pocket? and am I missing anything or is this an ok start. I'm still new and learning trying to blaze my own trail in the machining world, any help would be appreciated.
