    Peck tapping without fully retracting

    Mazak Mazatrol Nexus 2

    So I've tried this and it didn't work:

    G84.2 G98 X3. Y-0.625 R0.25 Z-1.875 Q.125 F0.07692 I1

    It pecked, then stopped at the Q value, then continued down so its clearly missing a value to move up to.

    According to the manual, parameter F10 is retract distance. Changing it didn't do anything, I will try more values as I have no idea what the unit of measure is for that parameter...

    Any help would be great, - Dave

    Well I spoke too soon, the code did work. I had the F10 value too small to notice the retract.
