There have been a few attempts made to add these cycles. I did one myself as a remap as a test of a type-2 algorithm. https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/tree/andypugh/g71type2remap The hope was that someone else who was working on this at the time would combine the two to give a built-in version. The reason that I feel it should be built-in is so that cutter compensation is done in only one place. I am away from home at the moment so can't easily check if this is the case with your version. The main reason, though, that I mention my experimental branch is that I did document the cycles, with explanatory images. This might be re-usable, if your version of the G71 cycles behaves the same way. https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/andypugh/g71type2remap/docs/src/gcode/g-code.txt#g71-lathe-roughing-cycle-turning -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
