Creators! Feel free to tip me off about your keyboard related projects to bring them to 100K readers.

If you, like mwiz10, are wondering how do you get the gcode onto these mills with older control systems:

According to Javilen17, most of the older Fadals take a 3.5 in floppy which can contain the .NC program. This particular machine was modified to take a USB stick with the program.

To load the g-code you would input the following in the MDI:

CD,8 return;

DNCX, .NC +

There is also some modifications to that need to be made to the g-code. Mostly just some configurations such as incremental line numbering needing to be removed.
