What is slotting milling?
Shaping (sometimes called slotting) is a machining process whereby a work piece is held on the machine table, which is then advanced into the path of a reciprocating ram, upon which is mounted a single-point cutting tool. Slotting can also be used to cut external shapes and forms as well.

What does MDI mean in CNC?
Manual Data Input Mode (Also Called MDI or MDA Mode) The advantage of this mode is that you can do manual operations that simply cannot be done in manual mode. Some CNC machines, for example, don’t have manual controls to change the spindle speed.
What is a slotting attachment for milling machine?
A slotting attachment converts the rotary motion of the spindle into reciprocating motion of the ram by means of an eccentric or crank housed with in the attachment, thus a milling machine can be converted into a slotter by accepting a single point slotted tool at the bottom end of the ram and is conveniently used for …

What is Auto mode in cnc?
In cnc machine auto mode when you press the cycle start button on the machine control panel the whole cnc program will be executed. To run the cnc machine in auto mode there are some conditions on some cnc machine such as the cnc machine safety guard door must be closed.
How do you write Gcodes?
G codes
- G00 = rapid movement.
- G01 = move at the specified feedrate*
- G02 = clockwise arc or circle movement*
- G03 = counter clockwise arc or circle movement*
- G17 = X Y plane selection.
- G20 = coordinates in inches.
- G21 = coordinates in MM.
