OneCNCXR5 30.79 contains the following

OneCNCXR5 Milling Versions

This applies to Mill Expert Mill Professional Mill Advantage and Mill Express

There is a new "Profile Plunge" milling feature added to all of these versions

OneCNCXR5 Lathe Multi Axis versions

There is a new "Profile Plunge" milling feature in the "C" axis capability

This applies to Lathe Expert Lathe Professional and Lathe Express with this module capability.

This new function is included in the stock tool paths.

The Profile Plunge provides another solution to profiling deep or thick parts by creating a series of drilled or milled points along or around a profile path. This is especially handy for deep slots.

The Function provides the ability to peck plunge the initial position in the case of a blind start then allows a controlled step over around the remainder of the chained path.

This dialog shows the initial setting and the setting for the remainder.

This picture shows the ability being used in a slot situation. This application uses the setting of no tool offset and just uses the chain as a center line.

This picture shows the function in operation.

This is another example where this function provides good functionality due to the shape and size of the profile compared to the depth and the size of the tool needed to be used.

This shows the function is simulated action.

And the completed path showing a notch that can be a more difficult profile in a thick part that can be handled successfully with this new function. This function is for center cutting tools as well as drilling type tools.

This update also includes many fixes and adjustments which have come from user reports.
