Hi can you help please trying to run the G73 code to drill a hole 55 deep but must be doing somthing wrong cant get it to work I am using Mach3 could this be my problem
Learning G-Codes right now. What I'm understanding is that when you're in a canned cycle, the machine automatically lifts above when moving to the next hole?
Do you have more cnc lathe videos? I'm a machinist apprentice, but the company I work for doesn't teach programming. They're too focused on production. I don't get proper training. I've practically taught myself. I lack knowledge in programming.
Hi Robert. A lot of my students say the same about their place of work. I have articles on my website teaching different programming techniques and am constantly adding more. Alternatively I have a course that teaches everything you need to program a cnc lathe here: gcodetutor.com/cnc-machine-training.html
Good question, this is a small clip from a larger course and as a stand-alone video, it isint clear. I have not included a retract value as this is a demonstration of a situation where we are cutting the material in one peck as it is only 10mm thick plate. The full course explains this. I should have edited this video separately to show things more clearly.
