Hello,
I am currently running some tests on the G83 command.
I manually set my starting point as my origin, I am using an MDX-40a

My Error message appears when I change my Q value to anything bellow 0.1 ... I would like to set it to 0.05 and it gives me an error everytime. I tried multiple ways of writting the code without any luck. I would have imaged I simply needed to write something like this:

G83 Z-0.800 R0.0 F3.0 Q0.05

Working Code:

%
G20
S15000
M03
G00 X0 Y0
G00 Z0
G83 Z-0.800 R0.0 F3.0 Q0.1000
G80
M05
M00
M02

Thanks in advance!

This is one way to do it, if your X & Y were at a different location then you would have X & Y with different numbers, have a play with this, you control may be looking for something different

Some controls have the format: Q1000 which would be .1
Try changing to Q500 that should give you .05 peck

Hey guys, thanks for the reply.

mactec54: I does not seem to have anything to do with my X & Y coordinates.

mcode: I tried your suggestion without any luck. As I mentioned the pecking worked when I wrote Q0.100
I do not understand why it gives me an error with Q0.050

Any other suggestions?

Thanks again

No it does not,have anything to do with the X Y coordinates, that is not what is written, I think you misunderstand what is written

Here is the Roland NC code, what I gave you should be working, you may need to upgrade your software, contact Roland for that

Have you tried just .050
