Title: g83.1 question
Post by: rhtuttle on October 27, 2018, 07:47:34 PM

downloaded build 3804 and used my lathe screen set and then the default lathe screen set.

Wanted to make sure that a peck drilling cycle was going to work the way I wanted so I copied the code from the lathe manual and ran it in the simulator. 

G0 G54 G19 G40 G80
t0202
G97 S2500 M3
G0 Z0
g0x0
G83.1 G99.1  x0.0 Z-1.5 R.2 Q0.125 F2
G80
M30

Attached is a picture of the result.  It always goes to x 0.400 at the end and doesn't run as described in the manual.  What am I  missing.  Does this run the same in other builds?

TIA

I didn't read the full explanation of the example.  I need g17 to drill from the Z plane.  the example drills from the x plane
