    These are great. Do you have any macros for Fanuc Macro Type B controls that can utilize these techniques right on the shop floor?

    Macros do exist to support some types of pocket feature machining directly on a Fanuc Control, however this is not within our primary focus. We recommend that you contact a local Fanuc Controls representative for better assistance. Thanks for the question!
