Thanks gene

Hey you might know how to loop a gcode file

I want to loop a gcode file 50 times.

Ideally using m98 and m99
But I'm a bit stuck on how to do it.

Does anyone have some tips?

This is for bar pulling in CNC lathe

M400 unclamps chuck and m401 clamps chuck


And I need some way to loop the g code
