Steve, The direction is irrelevant. Feed is defined with F, not K. It's a lathe not a mill, even if EMC is confused between a lathe and a mill, the G18 in the file header should have given it a clue ;) I don't know if only a G18 in the header will give a clue to EMC that it's a lathe...

They all use F. However, If you do know otherwise try a Siemens 810T post now that has some very fun cycles to program lots and lots of RXX= and B for radius in turning no R thank god devs didt take any of them two ideas and use on EMCs interpretior the same with its stock removal R28 definds

[Emc-users] G33 tapers

2009-09-08 Thread Frank Tkalcevic
Can G33 be used for tapered threads? I remember a short while ago someone wanted to do taper threads with G76, but couldn't and G33 was suggested. The documention says For spindle-synchronized motion in one direction, code G33 X- Y- Z- K- where K gives the dis- tance moved in XYZ for each
