Custom Drill Cycle

[JWEB]

I've searched the forum and am still having

trouble figuring out how to create a "gundrill" type cycle. I just want to feed into an existing hole at a slow rpm and feed. Once its in about an inch continue at suggested feed and rpm. Then before it retracts out of the hole. Slow the rpm and feed back down. I've found variables and post blocks to use but I'm not sure where to put this stuff and what needs to be modified in the control def.

Have you contacted your dealer so see what they can offer for help? Done a search on the forum?

[JWEB]

Yes I emailed the dealer and got no response. It seems some people on here have exactly what I needed so I was hoping they could help me out. The dealer would probably take at least a month to get me something like they had for previous post requests I've made.

i just made up a sub program when we used to do it.

I've done them and all the information is available on this forum. If you don't know where to start though, you are likely better off getting with your reseller.
