G-Code Bending
Using the g-code interpreter that I am developing for the g-code splitting program I read some g-code generated by F-Engrave and mapped the coordinates to the inside of a cylinder. I had a Dremel bit with a small ball at the end (larger than the shank). So I was able to cut a design into the inside of a cylinder with the tool axis aligned with the pipe axis.
I thought it was interesting but I have no application for it yet. I also tried cutting a small lithophane but the results were marginal. See the photo below.
