4th axis question

[rgollar]

my question is my program drills the first hole at A-0 then rotates the a axis 6 degrees and drills the hole. But then it redrills the hole again before it rotates the a axis. then it rotates anther six degrees. Cant seem to figure out why it double drills every hole. Thanks for the help in advance.

forgot to mention I only pasted part of the program in the post. Im sure most people would know that by looking at the post above. I just posted enough to see where the problem might be.

[doyleg]

don't you need to cancel the drilling cycle before the z1.0 move? otherwise its drilling at z1.0 again.

[doyleg]

you shouldn't need the z1.0 beings your clearance plane is already set at z1.0.

I will try canceling the drill cycle and see if that works. thanks a ton for the help. by the way i just order a 4th axis training video to do this in mastercam as you can see, I pasted this program togehter.

Thank you for you help, that fixed my problem.

If you can send me a sample file of something you are trying to do I will glad to throw some toolpaths on it so you can get an idea how I would approach it to maybe help you along with your training.
