New video on YouTube: Contour Exercise for Finishing, G0, G1, G2, G3 + G42 Radius Correction (CNC turning)
New year, new video series. Well, not entirely new, but our ‘INSTANT CNC’ series on YouTube continued in 2024 with Turning!
Here’s what happens in the videos:
Using the 3D simulation of our SYMplus™ CNC software, we will show you how task 1 from Christiani’s “Collection of tasks in CNC turning technology according to PAL2020” could look like in reality.
This task includes:
- Nose radius compensation on and off
- Chamfer and horizontal (in Z)
- Arc with and clockwise
- Vertical (ØX), inclined (ØX/Z), horizontal (Z)

G54 X 2024.
In this festive season, we would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and thank you for your continued loyalty and trust in KELLER.Software.
There have been challenges, enriching encounters and inspiring cooperation!
There was … a new Software Update
The PAL2020 simulators have been improved and expanded, turning in the 2nd quadrant with a right-hand turning tool is now possible without any problems, and SYMplus™ offers more flexibility thanks to additional post-processors and individual work step macros with contours.
Find out more about the software update >
There was … delicious Instant (CNC) food
Our new “series” on YouTube, “Instant CNC” is your little bite of CNC ready to enjoy in no time at all. The videos are less than a minute-long, making them the perfect snack. Immerse yourself in the world of CNC technology and discover new machining techniques using the 3D simulation from SYMplus™.

Orders up to the end of the year will still be processed at the previous conditions.
There are … Insights into the examination task for cutting machine operators
The IHK examinations for cutting machine operators took place on December 6. We used SYMplus to simulate the examination task for CNC milling. You can watch the video on our YouTube channel. (Turning video will come in the following days. Keep yourself subscribed to get updates)
Merry Christmas and a successful start to the New Year
Finally, we would like to wish you and your families a Merry Christmas and a good start to the New Year.

Merry St. Nicholas’ Day!
In Germany, it is a tradition to place polished boots outside the door on the evening of December 5th. According to legend, St. Nicholas then comes by during the night and fills your boots with sweets and small gifts. 🍬
We may not have sweets for you, but we’ve got a new, interesting video on our YouTube channel!
Watch how we simulated the St. Nicholas’ house with our SYMplus™ CNC software in four different ways:
- G17 IP3 – End face machining with virtual Y-axis
- G17 IP5 – End face machining with real Y-axis
- G19 IP1 – Surface machining with virtual Y-axis
- G19 IP5 – Chord surface machining with real Y-axis
