MegaCut Configuration. The spindle rotation is turned on at the begging of the tooling process and
switched off at the end. Commands related to spindle rotation settings (on, off, rpm) are ignored.
Absolute addressing..
When preparing a Gcod file, please keep in mind the above instructions. You can use both the
full and short terminology:
Full
Short
N10 G90 G21
N20 G0 X15 Y15 Z5
N30 G1 X15 Y15 Z-1
N30 G1 X20 Y15 Z-1
N40 G1 X20 Y20 Z-1
N50 G1 X20 Y20 Z5
N60 G0 X0 Y0 Z5
N10 G90 G21
N20 G0 X15 Y15 Z5
N30 G1 Z-1
N30 X20
N40 Y20
N50 Z5
N60 G0 X0 Y0 Z5
Groups of contradicting commands in a single line:
N10
G0 G1
X15 Y15
F1000
In the above example, both G0 and G1 are set. The software will only change the G1 to F1000.
However, in the following example:
N10
G1 G0
X15 Y15 F1000
G0 will be set.
Both absolute and incremental addressing can be used in a single NC file:
N10 G90 G00 X10 Y10 Z5 S24000
(absolute)
N20 G1 Z-1
N30 X25 G91 Y15
(mixed: absolute and incremental)
In the N30 line, the target location will have the absolute co-ordinates of (25,25,-1).
