    G53 Snap! What the? Why?

    Hey all,

    I'm running a Haas ST20Y. I figured I'd step out of my G28 tool change comfort zone, and try changing tools closer to the work. Not working out too well for me. I wrote up a little simple operation in MDI and it worked great. I put the tool close in to the chuck, wrote in G53 Z-9.; T1111;, hit cycle start, turret rapided away from the current arbitrary location to Z-9., changed tools, cool! everything seemed to work groovy. Tool change an inch away from my longest drill bit. Now apply it to my actual NC code in place of G28. Cycle start, covering feed hold, tool changes looked great, then we got to peck drilling with my longest bit. Finished the operation, and snap! The thing tried to change tools while the bit was still about two tenths inside the part. Huh, ok? Changed all my G53 Z depths to G53 Z-7. Replace tool. Run again. Snap! Tool did not retract any farther with the new Z depth. Still tried to do the tool change at about two tenths inside the part. Is this some sort of modal precedence thing? I'll post some of the code so ya'll can take a look. Don't tear me down too hard I'm self taught.

    Best I can figure is the G53; T-whatever needs to come after the M01 maybe?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Thanks
    Kyle

    BTW yes I'm roughing with a finish tool because I haven't had the funds to buy another tool holder yet. Unless you want to give me one don't judge.lol

    Insert a G80 after the G83 line to cancel G83
