So I'm running a citizen A20 and we are trying to use G96 when picking off to use Surface feet per minute to try.

When it goes to pick off the spindle rpm syncs up with the back spindle and the back spindle comes in for pick off and when the part off tool comes down in X the RPMs never increase as the diameter gets smaller and smaller.

We were able to use G96 successfully in other parts of the program but when we try to pick off the RPMs never increase when the diameter gets smaller.
Can these machines even use G96 when picking off? Any advice would be appreciated.
