Hi all,
I am about to run a g71 type 2 program on my lathe. I have never run a g71 type 2 before.
My g71 line looks like this:
G71 U.05
G71 P101 Q102 U.005 W.005 F.003
N101 G00 X.6 Z.1
.....
Question:
If I tell the machine that the stock to leave is +.005 on the Z (w) like on the line above, I understand it will leave .005 on the front of the faces, just like on a standard g71 type 1. My question is, will the g71 type 2 REMOVE .005 of material if the tool is feeding down a face while turning in the negative z direction?
For example, if you have an angled land on a diameter, I understand the tool will leave +.005 on the front of the land in the z. However, will it remove .005 on the back of the land during a g71 type 2?
Angelw you probably know this
Thanks,
Chris
