    Anyone know how to program a higbee using x instead of z

    ive ran them myself they peck down in x instead of in z like the threading cycle
    i just have no idea how they are programmed

    i have parts that all of a sudden need a higbee in the back as well and theres a very small area of clearance and this method came to mind

    so if anyone knows what im talking about i need your help
    CHOCLATE? THIS IS DOODOO BABY!

    I'm assuming you are cutting a right hand thread... If so, have you tried using a left hand grooving tool threading toward the tail stock?
