    Re: G76 lead out affect tool life?

    Thanks for the response. Ill give it a try but the part is a steady runner with very high volume. Adding passes and slowing down the SFM to much may kill the cycle time to much.

    Re: Repeat subprogram continuously.

    I will have to shut a machine down and try some stuff. If the Toggle switch makes it read the M30 as M99 maybe i can enter in a M30 with the M99 P values to restart it where i want.

    Re: Repeat subprogram continuously.

    When in the memory restart position it reads M30 and restarts from the top line of the program. If the switch is off then it reads M30 as the end of the program and stops.

    At 4000rpm can your servo motor keep up? Is the thread pitch a mess or is the thread just heavily burred? Im with Tom and slow down the RPM

    Re: Putting a rad off an angle

    That would be it. The .42 is a .8max dimension but I am guessing you already figured it out and .42 is the length that makes it blend?
