Depending on what post you're using, you should just be able to modify your mdrill$ post block.

Original probably looks like:

mdrill$         #Canned drill cycle, mill
      pdrlcommonb
      pcan1, pbld, n$, *sgdrlref, pgdrlout, pxout, pyout, pzout,
        pcout, prdrlout, dwell$, pffr, strcantext, e$
      pcom_movea

Change to:

mdrill$         #Canned drill cycle, mill
      pdrlcommonb
      pcan1, pbld, n$, *sgdrlref, pgdrlout, pfxout, pfyout, pfzout,
        pfcout, prdrlout, dwell$, pffr, strcantext, "m68", e$
      pcom_movea

 

As always, save a back-up before making any changes.

Kalibre, I think they meant a M68 upper case not lower case. Hopefully the machine will not alarm out with lower case letters.

Good call with using pfcout and pfzout to force the C and Z axis outputs.

You're probably correct. I just carried on with how Chris wrote it, lord knows there's more than a few quirky controls out there.
