    Macro for Boring lathe Jaws - Fanuc 21i-T

    Does any body have a macro for boring jaws of a turning center with a Fanuc 21i-T controller? If not does anybody know where I can find one? Any help will be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Why not just use a G71 canned cycle? Sure, you could replace the X & Z-axis, feedrate, SFM, tool number, etc. with a macro if it were a straight bore/turn, but anything else would quickly get complicated.

    Hope I didn't sound like I was being sarcastic or something. Didn't mean it that way.
