BTW2:
If you want do do helix milling, I created a macro. See
Attachment not found
It is called like that:
o<boring> call [-10.0] [4.0] [10.0] [1.0] [1000.0] [3000.0]
The center of the helix starts at [0 0 0]. To shift it, I was using a second coordinate system like that:
Code:
G54
G0 X0 Y0 Z0 ;Or what ever the starting position in G54 should be
G10 L20 P2 X10 Y20 Z5 ;Offset of hole relative to actual location ->G55
G55 ;Activate G55
o<boring> call [-10.0] [4.0] [10.0] [1.0] [1000.0] [3000.0]
G54 ;Activate G54 again for future moves
Probably there are better ways doing this, I'm also just starting writing G-Code. For example you could pass the starting location as a parameter or use variables to create the new coordinate system.
