Post help - Change drill cycle g code

[Thad]

Our Toshiba boring mill (TOSNUC888 control) uses a G87 for a "chip break" drill cycle. When I post, I get a G73. G73 is used for something else on the machine. Below is the post mod that I made to output a G87. It works, but I was wondering if that was the correct way of doing it, or the hack way.

 

 

code:

---

                # Canned drill cycle G-strings

sg81 G81 # drill - no dwell

sg82 G82 # drill - with dwell

sg83 G83 # peck drill - no dwell

sg83d G83 # peck drill - with dwell

sg73 G87 # chip break - no dwell

sg73d G87 # chip break - with dwell

I vote for the correct way!

That is a good way to do it Thad. Should see no problems unless you need the G73 as a drilling cycle then you will need to approach it differently.

Thad,

 

We have a lot of Toshiba's HBM and that is what we did to our posts.

 

Have a nice day,

[Thad]

Thank you all.
