G Code for Chess piece

Hello everyone,
Well, sorry I hadn't got back with you guys,
but I was sick then had to go to the Hospital.:blue:
I'm back and I feel a lot better.. :encourage: Well enough of that.
I tried the to Gcodes you guys gave me but neither one
would work.:bawling: So looks like I will have to try something
else. maybe I will try drawing a rook or a pawn and try
making them smaller....:bash computer: Thanks for the help guys..

Well I have rewritten my GCode for my pen making.
I am having a problem on the second half of the code I wrote.
Here is the code and I will try to explain what I'm doing..


N100 G01 X-0.0300 F10 ---------- From this point down to end of the blue is my finished pen.
N105 Z-2.3665 -----------------------No problem with this part.
N110 G01 X-0.0600
N115 Z-0
N120 G01 X-0.0900
N125 Z-2.3665
N130 G01 X-0.1200
N135 Z-0
N140 G01 X-0.1500
N145 Z-2.3665
N150 G01 X-0.1800
N155 Z-0.1660
N160 G01 X-0.2100
N165 Z-2.2760
N170 G01 X-0.2400
N175 Z-0.1660
N180 G01 X-0.2700
N185 Z-2.2760
N190 G01 X-0.3000
N195 Z-0.1660
N200 G01 X-0.3125
N205 Z-2.2760
N210 Z-0.2000 F5 ------------ now from here to the end is what I'm having problems with.
N215 G01 X-0.0400 ---------- What I want too do is to move from the end of the pen about a 1/4 inch
N220 G01 X 0.0200 ---------- and cut these six groves, but when it stops cutting the pen it then it
N225 Z-0.3500 ----------------- drops down too F5 like I want, but then it goes half way down the pen
N230 G01 X-0.0400 ---------- then goes right back to like it was starting to cut the pen again, but
N235 G01 X 0.0200 ----------- it cuts the groves without touching the pen..
N240 Z-0.5500 ----------------- Please help. I can't figure this out
N245 G01 X-0.0400 ---------- I will video it if need to
N250 G01 X 0.0200
N255 Z-0.7500
N260 G01 X-0.0400
N265 G01 X 0.0200
N270 Z-0.9500
N275 G01 X-0.0400
N280 G01 X 0.0200
N285 Z-1.1500
N290 G01 X-0.0400
N295 G01 X 0.0200
N300 G00 X0
N305 Z0
N310 M30
 
Here Is the video of the pen I did it has already been turned down, I just need to
get the dang thing to cut the grooves. Thanks for any help

I tried your code i have to delete all text or it does nothing in mach3 you have to use parentheses around text.
are you hand writing this code?
what extension does your code need?
try this code but open it in notepad check save as, choose all files as type and type in pen2.? the question is the extension you need.
this runs in mach3, it's not pretty ( it's really bad but it runs ) but it will help see the post processor type you need.

I have got to stop reading these CNC threads, it makes me want to convert my mill so I can try all this stuff you guys are talking about. :D

Thanks for the thread!

That was exactly my problem, I read all of the CNC treads and I got bit. Now there is no turning back as the lathe has been stripped of all if's manual controls.
Great fun and learning curve.
 
Yes that is right on the code
N215 G01 X-0.0400
N220 G01 X 0.0200

yes sir I am writing all of it by hand its just a straight cut up and down
just a simple code but trying to get the grooves to cut right
the extension on the code is DNC or NC, I use DeskCNC program that came with my
setup....
