Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] re; standards was Re: Re: Re[2]: axis naming conventions

Let's see:

SAE standards....anything I need regarding dimensions and such for nuts,
bolts and other items I can get at no charge. Same applies for those
others...just have to look in the right place.

Maybe that's part of the reason so many manufacturers use G codes that don't
match those standards.

When a REAL set of standards (instead of "suggested" sstandards) gets
developed that ALL the CNC machine manufacturers adhere to, then maybe the
information will become "freely available" as you say...as are SAE and other
standards that have been around for decades.

As for your comment:

I was referring to the fact that someone...forget who...mentioned the
standards were copyrighted and had to be purchased. If what you say is
true, then someone else is wrong. So which is it? If they are available
at a library, then they could be made available on the internet.
