Hi Tom; I was digging. It would appear to make a buncha parts from a long bar, I would program my g97 P XXX L8... bust into my sub... shift immediately into g91, describe my part, pull out... command a x1. ( Or whatever my shift... ) m99 So I would go to the sub, cut the part in incremental, shift x1. then m99 where I would pick up the successive loops. Wind up with a buncha parts. Do I have it? Thanks, Mark

+Mark Richardson That would work Mark, very good. (make sure it is a M97 , which I know is just a typo)

Tom; Thanks man! I sure appreciate you sharing your time. Very much. Some of this stuff is enough to drive me nuts. Mark

Can you please explain why g1 x is -.250

[@jbbauer0]

+jaison rajan Because that's the location of the X coordinate the tool is going to travel to when creating the bottom line of the square.
