This section describes how to use
XBUILD for writing Swiss turning posts.
Notes:
- In Turn/Mill, the tool post is synonymous with the channel or program (each turret has its own program). This is not strictly true in Swiss, as NC code for a particular tool post may end up in multiple channels. Therefore, it is necessary to separate the concept of tool post from program, channel, and path.
- Swiss parts almost always use cutoff transfers, so the formats involved are important when writing any Swiss post.
