Math Functions (+, -, x, ÷)

Math functions may be performed separately in the stand-alone calculator or directly in the

field you’re working in. For example, let’s say we need to enter the radius of a circle pocket,

but your print only shows the diameter, 6.25. Here’s an easy way to figure out the radius:

• Highlight the radius field for the circular

pocket.

• Using the keypad, enter the value for the

diameter,

6.25.

• Press the

÷ key.

• Press the

2 key.

• Press the

ENTER key. The answer, 3.125, will appear in the “Radius” field.

When you need to enter more than one calculation into a numeric field, the calculator will

perform multiplication and division before it performs addition and subtraction. If you were to

enter 3 + 1 ÷ 8,

MILLPWR will divide one by eight, then add three for an answer of 3.125.

Trig Functions

As we showed above, when you’re entering data for a milling or positioning function, your

print may not provide you with all of the information you need. If an unknown value can be

expressed as a trigonometry function, square root or the square of a number,

MILLPWR can

calculate the dimension for you in the trigonometry calculator.

Using the trig calculator:

• While in a numeric field (such as the “To” field for a Line), press the CALC key, and

then press the

TRIG softkey. The following softkeys will appear:
