Sorry Wiz, that way is a no-go
G71 just sets up an initial plane for the M53 command
- when M53 is defined in the canned cycle, it is this plane the tool rapids, and retracts, to between holes.
It has no effect on the return level between pecks
R is the retract plane, you could try having the G71 at the Z- value and the R+0.1,,,,,,,,,, but this more than likely gives an error that G71 is below the R plane
But why not do all the holes to correct depth as you go, just alter the desired cycle parameters
ie
Code:
G71 Z1.0
G83 X0. Y0. Z-5.2 I0.10 J0.50 R0.1 P0.2 F4.0 M54
X-1. Y0.
X1.0 Y1.0 Z-9. J0.30 M53
X1.0 Y2.0 Z-5.2 J0.50 M54
X2.0 Y1.0
