Hello. I am a new here and have a question. I am new to running lathes and trying to figure out how to program a spherical seat on a haas ST45 lathe. I can get it done in the shape creator but would love to learn how to manually program it using G03.
Thanks Chris
Look at the code that shape creator makes, look up everything you are not sure of. G03 is a CounterClockwise circular move. You calculate your start point, move to using G01. Then you use G03 to move to the end of the arc by putting in the end points and either a R for the radius or I and J to tell the machine where the center of the arc is.
