Gcode for Duplex Receptacle

[slow-poke]

Does anyone have a gcode program for the old style duplex receptacle?

x=y=0 @ center mounting screw
1/8" tool diameter

I expect you will have to model that up yourself.

I found it in Mach3 wizard, but unfortunately it does not seem to actually generate the code

Are you wanting just the holes to be able to mount an outlet inside a box or a custom panel?

CHAT GPT will generate Gcode apparently

Front panel, I just strung a bit off G code together, it's running now. Thanks

Something like this?

Wow no usb port?

Something like this.....

It's a bit of an unusual configuration, 3 x duplex

Required 8 lines of gCode plus the unused baggage:

Mine was bigger because I did a depth of cut 0.050. Plus entry exit ramps. That was for the inner profile. One of the programs milled it all away. Tedious.

The arc length was a bit much by +/-2 degrees, I corrected for the final pair on the RHS, close enough

Look at the feed rate 0.15.... I'd be running 5 at least.

I wanted tight corners so I used a small diameter tool, I start slow on the first pass, then speed up when I know it's working. Can you cut at 5 IPS with a 1/8" tool?

Oh and mine was also a good example of crap CAM software from Mecsoft which used a whole bunch of short lines rather than the IJ curves. Which just goes to show that if you learn how G-Code works it's possible to make small programs.

I imagine anyone that has written even a few lines of machine code cringes when they download some trivial program like a clock, and it requires 500MB or more of disc space. I know I do.;-)
