Holiday
Deer Yard Ornaments
This
program will machine a pair of free standing holiday deer yard
ornaments, a long time holiday favorite. This program requires
a 4' by 8' by 3/4" thick sheet of plywood. Both deer can
be assembled with antlers or one may be assembled without antlers.
Program can use any size router bit from 1/4' to 1/2" diameter.

Block
Text Machining Program
This
program allows any name to be typed in and then machined in
2"
square block style letters. Letters are attached, but appear
as though they are separate. Makes an excellent gift for children
and adults alike. Comes with instructions and programs to make
a fixture and machine the names (Note: does not work with Windows™ Operating System - only OS/2™).

Extension
Cord Caddy Machining Program
This
program will machine Extension Cord Caddy(s) as pictured below.
The program will automatically nest any quantity desired (or one
at a time) by setting a variable at the beginning of the program.
The program may also be setup to prompt the operator each time
for a quantity. This is a very handy item to keep those extension
cords tangle free. They make for nice gifts also.


3-Axis
Circle Macros (M920 cw & M930 ccw)
These
Macros are specifically designed for 3-axis machining. These macros
will automatically create a tangent lead in/out arc that is based
on a percentage of the main arc and number of degrees desired
to lead in/out with. The tool is simply positioned to the center
of the hole that is needed. 4 variables are set to let the macro
know the diameter, plunge depth, speed, and plunge speed. The
macro will then automatically index to the start of the lead in,
perform the lead in, the main circle, the lead out, then move
back to the exact location before the macro was called.

Axis
Shift Utility
This
utility allows you to adjust line segment probed programs on the
"X", "Y", and "Z" axes. This will adjust the entire program by
the amount and direction specified. You can adjust one axis or
all three at the same time if needed. This is useful for moving
programs for the difference between the probe and the main spindle.

91/9100
to 91000 AFL Converter
This
utility is designed to convert the 91/9100 SuperControl AFL
(Advanced Function Language) format to the 91000
SuperControl AFL format. The 91/9100 uses the symbol "@"
to designate an AFL line and the 91000 uses open and closed square
brackets "[ ]".
