    G81 RETRACT HIEGHT?

    Not sure what setting I have changed but now when running a g81 or g83 file the head retracts to the z home position between each hole drilled. What do i need to change?

    All the way to machine home?

    The codes and Settings that are involved in the retraction for canned cycles are:

    G98 Initial Point Return so it comes back to the Z position immediately before the canned cycle.

    G99 R Plane Return so it comes out to whatever your are value is.

    Setting 22 Canned Cycle Delta Z controls G73 retraction but I have no idea if it affects other drilling or boring canned cycles.

    Setting 52 G83 Retract Above R but I don't know if this affects G81.
    An open mind is a virtue...so long as all the common sense has not leaked out.
