Good afternoon, i am having some problems with a threading code, when i post the code from the wizard it writes the code produces the toolpath no problem, however when you hit cycle start the machine moves to the correct position chuck starts up and when it gets to the line of code with the g76 and the cutting data it doesn't do anything the chuck keeps turning but it doesn't move,

what am i doing wrong
