Default How much can you do with 1000 lines of G-code?

What's that Lassie? You say that _ fell down the old
rec.crafts.metalworking mine and will die if we don't mount a rescue

Some demo versions of CNC software have a line limit - how limiting is it?


Is that 1000 lines or 1000 characters?

I program for 6 axis swiss lathes and my largest programs are about
5000 characters. Usually smaller, about 2000 characters.

I don't know what that would work out to in lines.

Could be 5:1 to 20:1 I guess.
