Quick Start Examples

Hello World: Simple Drill

The simplest GScript program - drill a single hole:

tool drill_3mm {
    diameter: 3.0,
    flutes: 2,
    max_rpm: 15000,
}

drill {
    tool: drill_3mm,
    locations: [(50, 50)],
    depth: 5.0,
    feed: 300.0,
}

Face Milling

Surface a rectangular area:

tool endmill_6mm {
    diameter: 6.0,
    flutes: 4,
    max_rpm: 18000,
}

face {
    area: rect(0, 0, 100, 100),
    tool: endmill_6mm,
    depth: 2.0,
    stepover: 0.75,
    feed: 1200.0,
}

Pocket Milling

Mill a rectangular pocket:

tool endmill_6mm {
    diameter: 6.0,
    flutes: 4,
    max_rpm: 18000,
}

pocket {
    area: rect(10, 10, 80, 80),
    tool: endmill_6mm,
    depth: 10.0,
    stepdown: 2.0,
    stepover: 0.5,
    feed: 1000.0,
}
