lew g02 isn't a canned cycle mode so Mach just ignores the L
you need to look at M98 if you want to run it as a subroutine.
that was why I was asking what tool you are using.  Last i heard rigid mill tapping wasn't working yet.

General Mach Discussion / Charge pump pmdx 131

I was trying to finally hook up the charge pump and pin 17 keeps oscillating high to low at about 1 HZ
works fine when i first start up then i close and reopen Mach and it starts oscillating

General Mach Discussion / Re: G4 comand? time delay how to use?

« on: June 04, 2007, 03:21:10 PM »

milliseconds imo is more of a mill operation, something like doing a plunge with a mill or drill bit to give it time to do a 360deg rotation prior to rapid out.
cleans the bottom of a blind hole.  If you are doing a 1000 of something .05 seconds less time starts to add up.  Time is money or something like that.
I don't program that tight but i'm sure somebody does.

zealous depends on your settings thats either 1000 milliseconds or 1000 seconds
config>general confiig  then all the way over on the right side of the page(G04 Dwell in milliseconds)
