KINETIC-NC Facing Macro (Planfräsen)

A face milling G-code macro for the KINETIC-NC software from CNC-Step.

Features

• Automatic facing cycle (meandering) for stock facing
• Inputs:
  • Length
  • Width
  • Overlap (extends the length /width rectangle)
  • Lateral step (should be less than tool diameter)
  • Depth of cut
  • Feed rate
• Facing starts at WCS G54

NOTE: When using some more advanced calculations with variables, KINETIC-NC sometimes reports false messages with respect to machine limits, etc. When all inputs are correct, the machine still runs the macro correctly, despite wrong warnings.

NOTE: When you get warnings, its at your own risk if you run the code, as there might be programming errors or wrong inputs.
