    I will be updating my Sherline mill to CNC in the near term and want to use TinyG for the G-Code interpreter and motor driver. I also have been playing around with CamBam and think is is just right for the things I will likely want to do.

    My question is how are G81, G83 and the like drill G-Codes handled by TinyG. In the wiki, it seems they are not currently supported  Is there a commonly used way to drill holes using TinyG or a way to use Cambam to output the code without using canned routines?

    Hope my questions makes sense, I am very new to CNC concepts and the like.

    Thanks,

    Jamie

    TinyG does not support canned cycles. I’m not familiar enough with CamBam to know how it does this, but I expect there should be some way it can generate the Gcode to run a cycle. Sorry I can;t be more help here.
