I know for a fact that in the G76 situation, the actual lock phase of spindle vs z is a function of spindle speed, caused by the finite time to accelerate the z to a speed whereby it can then remain locked. That doesn't start until the index signal has been received And, without verifying it by breaking a tap, or fubaring a hole, I would assume the initial startup in the G33.1 cycle is subjected to that same limitation. The limitation manifests itself in the G76 cycle as a sideways miss-cut of the thread should you 'adjust' the spindle speed in the middle of cutting a thread. There may be other 'canned' cycles similarly limited to constant speed spindles only, but I haven't found them, yet...
