SECTION FIVE - MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS (M CODES)
Rounded Walls (M96)
M96 can be used for rounding walls in pockets or on islands. This command takes a start angle,
wall radius, first and final Z depths, and the Z increment as parameters. The M96 must be within
a while-wend loop. The tool radius, parameter #160 (the current Z depth) and cutter
compensation must be on to use the round walls feature. The M96 sets parameter #162 to 2 when
the cycle is completed. The M96 assumes that a ball-nosed tool is used. Rounded walls also use
an offset round/tapered walls parameter to determine where the first cut is.
Example 1: Offset Island Rounded Walls
Offset round/tapered walls parameter = yes
First cut is offset to avoid overcutting vertical wall.
Example 2: No Offset Island Rounded Walls
Offset round/tapered walls parameter = no
Offset is not needed to cut this part.
