im working on a project that has a circular pocket, but there are no x or y axis, it is bar stock, is there a g code for that? im running in quadrant 1. all positive.
the way red shirt guy took off the probe away from the workpiece scared the hell out of me! He went straight to pinching the handle (not grabbing the wheel first) then stared at the workpiece. Scary move haha! wrong direction (worse coupled with wrong increment set) or someone hits your elbow and sayonara 4 gran hehehe
I always wheel away with reduced feed rate first because one time my finger caught and pushed the rod when I was reaching for the wheel. Luckily it went in the right direction but I’ve seen people go the wrong way. Not good
The trouble with linear ways is that the vibration from always climb milling loosens them up prematurely. Instead of frictional wear, those little balls are subjected to endless hammering. Better to go with conventional milling (M03) and leave .006" on the dia. Now while the cutter is still in the pocket, switch to M04 for a beautiful finish, and better sizing. Your machines' tightness will also last much longer. >$$$
Conventional milling causes faster tool wear, so whatever you might save on replacing your linear guide carriages will go straight into the pocket of your tool vendor. It isn't even necessarily gentler on the machine - the lift forces in conventional milling can be very significant, increasing the chance of chatter if your workholding isn't ideal. Conventional milling generally only makes sense on older manual machines with significant backlash.

How would you mill curved circular hole?

Most important words of wisdom "Give it the D" works well in code and keeps your marriage going strongly haha
Where are the safety glasses? This is done at a college?
All the machining is behind the closed doors
It's ok because they are wearing face diapers, I mean masks to protect themselves 🙂

The masks are all they need to stay safe
