Greetings guys; I sent this last night, but it never made it to the list echo, so here it is again.
Trying to write the shaft extension carver, with an eye toward carving a new bearing boss for the crossfeed on my mini-lathe, to put a ball screw in it, I thought I'd get cute with the code and let it determine the maximum cut depth automatically. I had set that in the while statement to be 0.015" diameter, or 0.0075" in radius which this lathe can usually muster up the cajones to do. After it failed, I put some (debug, print vars) in it and found it seems to be prematurely exiting that first 'while' when the x_dec var is still around .020". Then it proceeds to completely skip the negation and debug statement after that endwhile and the next while cutting stanza, going straight to the m2. This code so far only carves the first .506" to hold the existing crank handle, if it would carve it at all. I have moved a copy of it to my web page, under the Genes-os9-stf link, find a GCode subdir which has this gcode file X-extension.ngc in it. Can someone look and see where I blew it, please? Thanks.
