  48. <br />
  49. i am trying to understand what G function i need for 3+1 milling work on a horizontal.(B axis around Y)<br />
  50. <br />
  51. Till now i've been programming from COR but with new work i will be needing the dynamic work offset function enabled but i am not sure is this G54.2, G54.4 or G68.2<br />
  52. <br />
  53. G68.2 looks like Plane Spatial on Heidenhain or is this G Function only for 5 axis work?<br />
  54. <br />
  55. Any insight into explaining the G Functions i listed and which one i need is appreciated.<br />
  56. <br />
  57. Thanks!</div>]]></content:encoded>

  241. It's 1/8&quot; thick with a 1/8&quot; lift and 1/4&quot;holes. If flat, it would be 1&quot;.<br />

  243. It's 5&quot; long.<br />

  245. Anybody know the exact name for this profile? You guys helped me identify this as a 'joggle' but I can't find much from that on the interWeb.<br />
  246. <br />
  247. Or, does anybody want to make about 100 of them?<br />
  248. <br />
  249. I'm using them to cinch down Tesla modules in a 1984 Jeep, CJ-7 EVC project.<br />
