Trying to use G83, (I am used to Mazatrol) I have My Q.1 Z-2.75, R.1 F.0025 The cycle will work, but the peck wont retract from the hole and feeds back from the retract postilion.

What am I missing.

Ive not figured G83 with a full retract on my lathe yet, G83.5 works fine but that only retracts a bit before pecking again, not all the way out, letting the cadcam long hand that one right now.

Set to 0 to have the cycle behave like a typical Mill G73 cycle and retract an amount set in parameter 5114.

Set to 1 to retract to the R plane as per a typical Mill G83 Cycle.

This bit in your control will be currently set to 0 Regards, Bill.

Some builders have their own way to set zero return through their own side of the control.

So, double check with the machine tool builder if at all possible.

If you cant get to the position you would like hold in P and Cancel on power up to bypass soft overtravels or you could change the soft overtravel limits to temporarily.

WARNING Do not try holding in any other keys except P and Cancel.

May need to page up or down to get to the top of the Parameter numbers.

Also, remember if this is an axis that the pallet changer or Tool changer is dependant on alignment then you must check this also because it is based off of zero return.
