Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] ?? Repeat cutting routines??

Time for a CAD/CAM program. I do it in Vector and it is called Contour
Tooling. Here is the code from Vector to cut .5" deep in .1" increments on a
1/4 circle and to make all the cuts in the same direction. Just a click of a
check box to have to tool paths alternate direction instead of lifting and
going to cut from the same end.
