Re: Conversational CNC

Tim,

Here is the shameless plug for my software.

Lathe Quick Code V2.5 $75.00
http://www.geocities.com/wayne_j_hill/LQC2000.html
Demo download on web site.

Programs in Diameter.
Programs in Inch or Metric systems.

Material speeds and feeds for the operation selected.
Select thread sizes, drill sizes, tap sizes from combo list boxes.

Enter size dimensions and parameters into the text boxes, press OK
and the G-Code appears!

The threading features are the best of any CAD/CAM software on the
market.

Programs Fanuc 6T and OT G76 thread cycles or multiple lines in G33.
Calculates 60 degree OD/ID thread depth given the thread major and
pitch. Metric thread sizes are calculated in Inches. If the program
settings are in Metric, then Inch thread sizes are calculated in
metric.

Program multi-lead thread on taper with offset plunge cutting.
Pick thread size from listing - or add your own into the user text
file.
Pipe threading sizes.

Simple outside grooving.

Center drilling to correct depth by drill angle or center drill size.

Deep drilling with G83 or multiple lines in G01

Ream operation.

Tap Operation.

I purposely did not want include single point turning, besides of the
complexity involved, and because there are so many CAD/CAM systems
out there that can handle this with ease.
