I need to machine something on my BF20, and I need to turn the head 90deg and use the machine as a horizontal milling machine.
What I'm trying to do is mill some holes and a profile in the side of an enclosure. The enclosure it too large have the surface I want milled be on top. Putting the enclosure on it's side will work for me.
Currently I only have access to Cut2D for generating the g-code, but what do I do with the g-code? Can't use it as is, since (with the head turned 90deg) my X axis is now the Z axis and vice versa.
Is there a simple way to swap axis in Mach3?
Any other solution?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
