Re: Best size end mill for milling perimeter of PCB? #mill
Hi Gerry, I use V point mills. 60 Degree normally, but there are also 30 and 15 degree I think. After milling the board, my mill, mills a border. This I then follow to cut the board to size. If I mill

This has been requested in the past, but it isn¡¯t something I can do at the moment. The source code is up on [GitHub](https://github.com/johnatl/pcbgcode), and I keep hoping someone will submit a

Re: #GCODE #gcode
Not sure if this was in reply to my post but yes. Several cad/cam applications do this. You tell the application what size mill bit you are using and as long as it is smaller than your hole size +

Re: #GCODE #gcode
Do you think, like you have 0.7mm DRILL bit (good for LEDs, for example), and you're going to MILL a 0.9mm hole for pin-header with it? ;-)

Re: #GCODE #gcode
Greg, Sorry, I miss understood what you were asking. No, Pcb-Gcode does not have that ability. It only drills holes with drills and if memory serves me, you cannot mill holes either. It will only

Re: #GCODE #gcode
I can see there are a few approaches to GCODE. Eagle is the obvious first one. Then Gerber to GCODE converters, I found a few online.

Re: #GCODE #gcode
Understood but what I meant was that in fusion 360 you can tell it you have a 1/4" bit and if the hole is 1/2" it will output cnc code to cut a 1/2" circular pocket. In other words fusion does not

Re: #GCODE #gcode
The program will ask for the proper drill size (depending on your default drill table), but lets face it, the program doesn't have a clue what you actually put in the spindle! So even if your gcode

Re: #GCODE #gcode
Ah, so that brings up a question. Does the drill bit have to match the hole size or can one use a smaller bit? I'm not sure I need more than one size hole but eventually I will probably dive into

Re: #GCODE #gcode
Ok, if I read this right, you want to know if you need an automatic tool changer to use pcb-gcode? The answer to that is NO, pcb-gcode outputs separate gcode files for etching, drilling, milling, etc.
