This is a wire-only tab.

Support Taper Mode

Function	Allows the CNC output to use Taper angles to define the UV plane.
Checked	Taper Mode available when valid.
UnChecked	Taper Mode disabled. XYUV will be used at all times.
Format Table Ref	T = Taper Side angle
Token Dependant	Yes
Token Name	TAPERANGLE

Notes

Default is Taper mode On.

Taper Mode - Right / Left / Cancel

Function	Define the G codes used for setting the Taper direction.
Format Table Ref.	TAPERSIDE
Token Dependant	Yes
Token Name	TAPERSIDE

Support Cone and Cylinder blend radii

Function	Allows the CNC output to support the blend radius commands. The CNC code would output the corner coordinate in XY (P2) and the required blend radius.
Checked	Taper Mode available when valid.
UnChecked	Taper Mode disabled. XYUV will be used at all times.
Format Table Ref.	G = G codes
Token Dependant	Yes
Token Name	CONCYLGCODE

Taper Angle Value

Function	Alters the sign of the taper angle value. Some machine may have a G code to denote the taper side and the angle is always positive, but some may use the sign of the value to determine the taper sign. This option allows the user to select the required output.
	Options:
	Signed	Use the Sign of the value
	Unsigned	Absolute value
	Sign Reversed	Reverse the sign of the value
Format Table Ref.	T = Taper Angle
Token Dependant	Yes
Token Name	TAPERANGLE
