| i have the file for the ar in my cad/cam but lazy to program it anyone have the code in G-code this would be for machining from a solid block of material |

It doesn't work that way....
You need specific G-code for both your fixturing, and machine you are running it on, as well as the offsets..... And don't forget tooling, G-code from a Makino Horizontal with 240 tool pots, will not work so well on your Haas VF2 with 24 pots. Simpy running someones G-code in an unknown machine, with unknown fixture will result in a "Cycle Smash." |

Also, you most likely don't have the necessary skills to program it yourself as you claim. |

Why would anyone want to give up intellectual property for free? A person could have spent many hours laying tool path in a CAM program and then just feels the need to give it away? Like everyone has said so far not all G and M code is the same from machine to machine. Whats your machine? FADAL, MORI, HAAS, MAZAK, OKUMA, SUPERMAX, HITACHI, YANG, and your operating system?
Everyone loves too lazy. |

Everyone loves too lazy. Excellent point, while I'm not expert in CNC programming, I do know when I'm working on a print (I still do it in the classic tradition by hand on a drafting table) but alas I am getting my certification In CAD, It takes several long hours to develop/complete a print and the same goes to transfer it Into digital formats like SolidWorks, IGES, CAD Including G and M codes for a specific CNC program. So why would anyone give that away for free and It would have to be designed for a particular CNC program the CNC mill will understand and is set-up for like the previous poster Indicated. So you need full commercial spec. prints for a AR-308 lower ? Sure I have them, but they are not free. |
| okuma hurco and yes i program i can edit im currently a programmer hurco has winmax okuma has there own software and and fanuc is what i know its not like this is a top secret part.....http://www.cncguns.com/downloads.html and yes TZLVredmist machines all have different POSTS |

I'm slowly learning how to do mill programming (I've been doing lathes almost entirely through my career, so I've only advanced to live tooling), but I can see more than a few variables that you are leaving out.
I don't know what tools you are using. If your tooling doesn't match what anybody else is using (ie; I use a .375" end mill in tool location 4, and you have a .062" in that location, or I have diameters that you don't have), it won't work. We can barely copy/paste jobs from one machine to another at the shop I work for, because some machines just work differently, even from the same manufacturer. Take the CAD file, build your tooling in SolidWorks, and try it yourself. I don't mean to sound condescending, but the way you want it done really isn't viable. |
