Drilling help

[Rakesh]

Hi everybody

I have a situation where I want drill to go rapid to z.1,than G1z-1.F--, than G0 z-2., than G1z-2.5 and G0 z.1.

I trying to get this type of output by using point toolpath but no success. I never used the point toolpath before. If anybody can help?

thanks

do you have a solid?

you can pick the top hole for the first drill cyl

then pick the bottom hole for the 2nd drill cyl.

whatever happened to i's j's and k's in drilling cycles. first cnc (fadal) that i ran had this but no others. I being initial peck, J being reducing value and K being minimum peck?

draw a line through the center of the hole from top to bottom. Break the line at points where you want to change from g1 to g0. Create 3D contour by chaining the line. Then use the toopath editor to change for G1/G0 as needed.

 

It is a lot to go through, but this way it will post ready to run.
