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

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. >Plus I like > radial, not diameter. Nowhere was it specified you couldn't use radial. > >3) Had you posted error free code the tool would follow the EXACT same > >path as the code Dan and Tom posted.

Use a method thet works for all 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. > >4) You said Dan and Tom can't program a profile using their method > >that you can using yours.

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. > >> What do you guys do for a living, anyway? > > >Dan is a respected member of the manufacturing and machining industry > >who is a published author in manufacturing magizines and elseware.

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? > And WHY should the machine operators be altering your code > in the first place ??? How many times per day? Doesn't happen. However in your case, viewing your programming skill and error riddled code I can see where it's needed.i

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