Title: program gets stuck at m3
Post by: TonyM on June 24, 2023, 06:18:38 AM

I have built a lathe and m03 works if you do it manually.
I then used the turn cycles feature to make the gcode but when running the generated gcode it gets stuck on m03.
The program still thinks it is running but nothing happens, the spindle does rotate but the speed changes everytime i rerun the program.
When it gets stuck i press pause and then play and it just resumes the program. Is there something i forgot?

Code: [Select]

N60 %
N65 t0808
N70 G98
N75 G96 S150
N80 M03
N85 M08

Try removing the G96 constant surface feed

Sorry, it’s constant surface speed CSS. That’s what happens when you use speech to text. Lol
