In article , DoN. Nichols says...

And -- with the 15C at least, you can enter a radius and the
angle, and it will convert it from polar to rectangular notation, so you
can crank in X and Y coordinates on the mill prior to drilling the
holes, so you can do it without a rotary table, if you need to do things
that way.

Ah... is *that* what the polar/rect conversion on that thing is
good for! I've always resorted to trig conversion. I'll have
to give that a tryout at the next chance.
