NOT A UG QUESTION BUT

NOT A UG QUESTION BUT

NOT A UG QUESTION BUT

(OP)
has anyone ever tried to peck backwards?
i would like to use a g83 with codes as follows

G83 X0 Y0 Z-2. R-3. F2. Q.1

it is going to be for a back spotface operation
where the r plane is deeper than the final z depth which would make the machine peck backwards instead of downwards.

the machine stops at the r plane now does not alarm but does not move

Thanks

RE: NOT A UG QUESTION BUT

I would guess the controller is programmed not to that.
Your only option is to simulate the G83 process with G00/G01 steps.
Does the post allow you to output G00/G01 code instead of G83 canned cycle code?
