Re: Beginning tool path text

One thing I add is the parameter for the work piece and location. When you
only make certain parts once every 6 months its nice to know the set up for
example

(.250 alum plate 4x10 6061T6 set Z-1.000, use .375 3nd mill)
G90
G00X0Y0Z0
etc
Most programs don't read text in parins.
