Remove the 'L0.0' from each line and replace them with a feed rate (F1.0), then try again

normally L and K is denoted for repeatations. If u put L1 its make sense to run the G81 or any canned cycle one time, if u put 2 its run 2 times and if u put 0 its take the position for hole but not run the cycle. we put this in Fanuc if we skip some holes.

Yup I have done that on a fanuc too... Don't know if we can get that to work in Mach3

thanks

I see what you are saying but in the code above it would not drill a single hole, so why bother writing the code in the first place.

Not only that its very inefficient code. I could be done in a third of the lines.

It reminds me of Microshaft, why do in 20 lines, what you can do in 200

This would do the same job, except it would actually drill holes
