CNC Mill Programming Haas G13 Circular Pocket Milling

In CNC mill programming class, we are making a spark plug holder with 3 circular pockets. In this video, I'll explain the G13 code and parameters and show an demonstration of code being used in the Haas CNC mill.

thanks for posting, good job explaining the details

Would have loved to seen a 45, 60, 82, or 90° chamfer around that pocket. You may already have that in later on. Great explanation on G13. G13 makes life so much easier.

Very helpful and great example🙏

Plz update more videos regarding VMC PROGRAMMING

G13 vs G03/G02/G01. What’s the difference you ask? G13 cannot simultaneous make a “Z” move until the end of that line of code and it hits the loop. G03/G02/G01 can in fact move in Z while pocket milling or cutting a radii/fillet/chamfer etc. things to think about when programming G03/G02/G01 and R function circular interpolation. If the radii you are trying to achieve is under 180° it will be a positive R value if is greater than 180° the R value must be negative. There is a ton of great resources available on HAAS F1 website or just look in the operating manual if available. Thanks y’all have a good one and keep learning the G-code and don’t be afraid to practice on some scrap material using G-13 with and without a K, Q value.

Is that aluminum material?
