Programming with the pendant

[Greg Hokanson]

Hello everyone.....just acquired an axiom cnc router.....so let the learning begin...lol......my question is can I use the pendant to manually write a routine for the machine. I only need it to bore a simple hole in the same spot for now. Once I get the initial set up to work, then I want to be able to use the same routine in multiple spots on the table.

Unfortunately, you cannot. If you know Gcode, you can easily write what you are wanting in a text file and transfer to the pendant via USB drive. If not, you will need a program like Vectric to generate your Gcode based on a toolpath drawing.
