Boring G code program? was created by usert_l
Hi y'all,
I'm new to how G code programs work, more specifically for my lathe that I recently converted to CNC. I have some tubing stock for a project and I want to bore the inside diameter to a required dimension. What would be a good place for a newbie to look into for learning to write G code program for boring operation and how it's run?
Thanks

Have a look at
forum.linuxcnc.org/lathe-subroutines-library/26956-boring
Should be a good starting point for rolling your own (or just using that one!)

The id.ngc file is what I use with ngcgui.

You could use that as a starting place. Most important is touching off your boring bar so the cutting edge is in the center when at X0.000, so until you get familiar with boring after touching off move the X axis to 0.000 and visually check the cutting edge is in the center of rotation. I suggest cutting some air to make sure your code does what you expect. Before trying to use a subroutine just hand write your code line by line then use a loop.
