OK, so I understood some of the canned cycles code : )
But could use some additional clarification about this line:
G1 G81 Z-0.000 R0.250 F30 -- Start the drill cycle to drill the first hole at A0.000
So for drilling hole 1 mm deep I would put Z-1, and to retract it back, R should be 1 as well, no? Does F30 refers to both drilling and retracting feed? Can I specify retract feed to be faster?
As far as A positions code: if for example I need to drill 55 holes equally spaced around 360 degree rotation, is there a way to program to do that automatically in equal increments, instead of specifying and manually adding together the degree positions?
Please advise.
Thank you.
