QTPlasmaC with fourth axis - rotary

I have a possible solution which at first glance appears viable in a virtual machine but I need to do some halscope plots on my table. I won’t have time to do that for a couple of days or so.

Thanks Phill that is awesome news. We are waiting in anticipation image missing /media/kunena/emoticons/tongue.png

Unfortunately that idea didn't pan out. Another of those too good to be true moments...

Do you know if SheetCam can output the X/Y/Z moves in incremental distance mode (G91). That may work but I haven't looked too hard as I am not sure that it is an option.

Failing that it seems that we will need to inhibit the inbuilt height sensing and revert to G38 probing for tube cutting in this case.

 

I would think that the G38 route would be best as that is already incorporated in the Sheetcam post processor output.
As far as the incremental output goes, I am sure that could also be done in the post processor but Les will have to answer that. I will alert him.

I thought i was subscribed to this thread but didn't receive any notifications. Thanks Marius for giving me the heads up.

Inhibiting the built in probing would work for me. Probing gets complicated on square section so it's easiest for me to have SheetCam generate suitable G38 probing moves.
Phillc54 the post can do incremental but I generally find incremental to be a pain to work with so I try to avoid it.

Les, would you  have a typical tube cutting gcode file with two or three cuts in it that I could have a peek at.
