#A = 50 ; Left edge distance #B = 100 ; Bottom edge distance #C = -12 ; Depth G0 X=[#A] Y=[#B] Z10 CYCLE 81 (Z=[#C], F=200)
G0 X50 Y100 Z10 ; Rapid move to safe height above the hole Instead of writing G1 Z-12 F200 , we use a cycle. woodwop 5.0 tutorial

You have to drill 10 cabinet backs, each with a different width. Instead of editing 10 lines of code, you define a variable at the top. %P X=600 Y=400 Z=18 %TOOL=5 G0 X50 Y100
%TOOL=5 ; Select drill bit %T5 ; Activate tool parameters In WoodWOP 5.0, the semicolon ( ; ) is your friend. It allows you to write comments so you remember what you did next week. Move to the drilling location. Never drill without moving first.
M25 is a standard stop command that shows a message on the CNC control panel. Drilling is easy. Contour cutting is where WoodWOP 5.0 shines. To cut a shape, we use CONTOUR and CYCLE 23 (Pocket/Contour milling). Step 1: Define the Path Instead of typing G1 X... Y... for every corner, we use a named contour. Instead of typing X50 , you type X=[#A]
If you work in the woodworking industry, specifically with HOMAG Group CNC machining centers (such as Weeke, BMG, or KAL), you have likely heard of WoodWOP . As of its 5.0 iteration, this software has become the gold standard for programming nesting, drilling, and routing operations.
