Not sure what you're doing, but I'll guess on a VMC boring, you have a shift for fine boring.

 

Post some code and give a better explination.

Dale did we scare you away?

Dale,

 

If on a lathe make sure you have not picked a boring bar that is too big for the hole (I know this sounds simple but it has been done before), check your lead out and adjust the angle and length, turn on reference points and set the values to give the clearance move you need. Any of these could solve the problem. You could also add a chain, make the chain a point that is clear of the hole and put it after the boring chain.

 

If not on a lathe disregard the above information.

Well, just off the top of my head I'd say taht you have your clearance, retract, whatever, is set to incremental instead of absolute.

It sure sounds like its doing an X,Y before its coming out of the bore.

Thanks to all that have responded to My question.

It is a lathe that I was working on. I didn't respond because I had a problem come up on the floor and this is the 1st time I've been back at My desk. Thanks again.
