But as demonstrated your method does not work in all cases
AND you claimed to use it in all.
In addition you have just as much alteration of the numbers
in the code from the part geometry numbers.
And WHY should the machine operators be altering your code
in the first place ??? How many times per day?

Source problem had 2 diameters & I switched IIRC. Plus I like
radial, not diameter.

Was very simple part. Use a method thet works for all & avoid
confused people & scrap <G>.

Found easier proof of point.

All I see reading through the old threads is you trying to move the
target and cover up your mistakes.

As demonstrated by whom, where?

Then you don't remember correctly. You said you programmed to the
"alternate" diameter where an alternate was not given. However even
for the diameter you said you programmed for your code was still error
filled.

Nowhere was it specified you couldn't use radial.

As demonstrated by your error riddled code?

The code posted by Tom and Dan does work on all lathes.

>& avoid
> confused people & scrap <G>.

Your method is more confusing as well as machine setup takes longer,
requires more operator calculations and data inputs which provides
more opportunities for error to creep into your process which =
increased scrap & rework.

Bullshit, you and Jon refuse to provide examples to prove your points.
In his case a model, in your case a profile and you both refuse to
provide them for the same reason, because you both are caught in a
lie.

Is this supposed to be an insult?

Sure can do it with pencil and paper, with or without a calculator. I
can also use a computer, CAM, CAD/CAM or spreadsheet. I can input data
into the machine numerous ways including type it in by hand. However
by any method or means the program would still be the same error free
code.

If by MDI you mean MDI edits at the control then yes, YOUR code would
need to be edited at the control or replaced with an error free one.

Then why use your method which makes machine setups longer and harder
for shop personnel requiring them do do more calculations and data
input meaning increased opportunities for errors?

Doesn't happen. However in your case, viewing your programming skill
and error riddled code I can see where it's needed.i

So you're saying you can't figure out a way to describe the profile,
share a sketch or drawing of said profile with this group because the
www works for everyone else but you?

You are as credible on this issue as Jon is in the VX forum doing the
same thing you are here.
