Milling

Ultimate CNC can generate G-code Programs from:

• STL, SVG, or Images.
• SimpleCAD
• Script engine.

Depends on which scenario, Ultimate CNC, show you a parameters that you can modify on the fly, but if some parameter is not showed, always will take the configuration from "Milling" screen.

Many parameters, are depended on your hardware, so you don't need to modify each time that you generate a G-Code Program. Then, configure it one time.

Safe Z

Safety distance not to touch the material.

Z step

The distance between each pass of Z.

Spindle

Represent the speed of your spindle. It is a duty cycle scaled.

Spindle wait

Waiting time in seconds for the spindle to turn on

Axis XY, Feed Rate

Feedrate used to axis xy

Axis Z, Feed Rate

Feedrate used to axis z

Arcs, Feed Rate

Feedrate used in G02 or G03. You can select between the feedrate configured in the Z-Axis or the XY Axis.

Gcode Compress

Compress the gcode before send to Grbl firmware

Turn on coolant

Turn on and off coolant on G-code programs

Direction

Clockwise / anticlockwise direction for milling. If need mill some arc, it configure G02 or G03 according of this configuration. The spindle rotation (M3/M4) is chosen from Command config.

Script on start

It adds a M-Code in the first line of your G-code program, so when execute it run a Script. (release 4.x)

Script on end

It adds a M-Code, before M2/M30, so when execute it run a Script. (release 4.x)
