Using G84 it isn't reversing for some reason. I've tried all kinds of combinations with no luck. There is a G63 code in the book for tapping mode but it isn't in any examples and it doesn't make any difference.
My code looks like this :
G84 X-5.2439 Y-.492 Z-.225 R.1 F25. G98 doesn't reverse.
G84 G63...... Doesn't reverse.
G88 machine stops.
G88 G63 stops.
Any suggestions what could be wrong or if I'm doing something wrong? I come from Fanuc controls.
Thanks,
Mike
