Hi guys

I had a row of holes to drill today and wanted try
some “deep hole drilling” in VisualMill 5.0

Mach 3 didn’t drill the holes for some reason here
is the code that VM posted.

It should have took .250 out of the hole on each pass
in the hole until max depth.
Instead it went to each hole and paused and moved to the next hole.

I modified the code and it peck drilled the holes.
This is the code I ended up using.

I know that G83 is a canned cycle for peck drilling but
what should the code look like if you wanted to choose
the amount that it takes on each peck.

I have found other bugs in the VM post processor for Mach3 and with the help of Bryan and the guys at VM
I have fixed a few as I run across then.

Thanks for your time
