How it works
One shot.
Example program
G90 G0 X1. Y1. Z.1 ; FIRST NOTCH
G65 P0002 L1 Y1. Z.25 ; CALL MACRO O0002 WITH Y AND Z
G90 G0 X2.5 Y1. ; SECOND NOTCH
G65 P0002 L1 Y1.5 Z.5 ; DEEPER NOTCH
G65 P0002 L1 Y1. Z.25 ; CALL MACRO O0002 WITH Y AND Z
G90 G0 X2.5 Y1. ; SECOND NOTCH
G65 P0002 L1 Y1.5 Z.5 ; DEEPER NOTCH
Example is in inch. Check offsets and clearances first.
Watch out for
- The file name needs a capital O, leading zeros and a lowercase .cnc, for example O0002.cnc.
- Programs 9100 to 9999 can be embedded in the main file between O9xxx and M99. They must come before the call.
- I J K can repeat up to 10 sets in one call.
