Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] G-Code

I didn't check your values, but the "code" is valid. There is no "K" value
needed because the Z move is linear and yes this is called a helical move.
You would only need a "K" value if the arc is in the XJ or YJ plane and then
a helical move in that case would us the third axis in a linear move.
