When I post a G73 it comes out with bad numbers on the I and K lines. It's very odd,
If it is on the OD both the I and K values will be zero. If the cycle is on the ID there will be a value on both I and K but they are wrong.
The I value will be whatever the radius of the bore is and I am not sure where it calculates the K from but it starts farther away than it should also.
I am using MCX2
mill level 3 and lathe level 1
Any help will be great.
Thanks,

John,
I could not get it to change anything by adding this code. I tried just having the fs2 24 and just having the fs2 25 lines and I tried it with both. no change still a decimal.
# Max depth to the right of the decimal point is set in the fs statement below
fs2 24 0^7 0^7 #Decimal, 7 place, omit decimal if integer value
fs2 25 0 3 0 3t #No decimal, absolute, 3 trailing
I have four different lathe controls here and there is one sl-65 that will not run a decimal value in the depth of cut(D.075 will not work) it must be a whole number(D750).
How can I have it post without a decimal?
I am using X2 level 3 mill and level one lathe.

Hi everyone!
Great site this is all very informative,
I am using X2( mill level 3 and lathe level 1) and I am having a problem with the canned cycles posting the same P(P100)
and Q(Q110) line numbers for every tool.
I have the post working pefectly except for this. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance.
