Drill Cycles

[EazyE]

I have had some problems getting the drill cycles to do what I want - Say I have a hole at -.250 and I want to c drill the hole at -.350 but I need the drill to retract to .100 - Sounds simple - The problem I am having is that the cycle feeds from .100 down to -.350 - This wastes allot of time and I would like to be able to have the cycle rapid down to -.250 and feed to -.350 - I know this is the place to get answers - I almost remember reading something on this but cant find anything with a search - Thanks

set retract at .1 abs, set feedplane at .05 inc and top of stock at -.25 abs and depth to -.35 abs

 

that will get a rapid down to -.2 a feed to -.35

Thanks J but it does not seem to be working the way I want - The Z value directly before the G83(drill cycle) is the same as my R value - I need this to be .1 and the G99 on the G83 line needs to be G98 - HAAS VF4.

I just change them by hand. I know, I should adjust my post to get the right output.
