Help with canned thread cycle for Haas Lathe?

[Rob B]

I'm trying to edit my lathe post for my Haas SL 20 lathe. When I try to post a canned thread cycle I get the following output:

 

R20=.118 R21=.6750 R22=.0000 R23=5 R24=.0590 R25=.0010 R26=.4720 R27=8

R28=37 R29=30 R31=.6750 R32=-.7000 R37=.975 L97 P1

 

I need something that looks like this:

 

G76 X.793 Z-.7 K.059 D50 A30 F.118

 

I don't know if this is completely correct, but my machine reads the above line without any alarms. The above line was posted from a Haas post that I got from the ftp site. The only problem using the Haas post, it doesn't post my approach and retracts correctly. That's why I would rather keep using the post that I have tweaked in.

I am pretty much lost with editing canned cycles. I would be thankful for any help.

What post did you start with?

 

That is NOT a generic starting post for that machine.

 

Try one of the Generic 2 axis posts to start with and go from there.
