20 COMMONLY USED MISCELLANEOUS M CODES CODE FUNCTION M00 The M00 code is used for a Program Stop. The spindle stops and the coolant is turned off. Pressing CYCLE START again will continue the program. M01 M03 M04 M05 M06 The M01 code is used for an Optional Program Stop command. Pressing the OPT STOP key on the control panel signals the machine to perform a stop command when the control reads an M01 command. It will then perform like an M00. Optional stops are useful when machining the first part to allow for inspection of the part as it is machined. Starts the spindle CLOCKWISE used for most machining. Must have a spindle speed defined. The M03 is used to turn the spindle on at the beginning of program or after a tool change. Starts the spindle COUNTERCLOCKWISE. Must have a spindle speed defined. STOPS the spindle. The M05 is used to turn the spindle off at the end of program or before a tool change. If the coolant is on, the M05 will turn it off. The tool change command along with a tool number will action a tool change. This command will automatically stop the spindle, Z-axis will move up to the machine zero position and the selected tool will be put in the spindle. The coolant pump will turn off right before executing the tool change. M08 M09 M30 Coolant ON command. Coolant OFF command. Program End and Reset to the beginning of program. Note: Only one M code can be used per line. And the M-codes will be the last command to be executed in a line, regardless of where it is located in that line. Page 12 Mill Lesson 2-4

23 RAPID G00 AND LINEAR G01 INTERPOLATION G00 RAPID TRAVERSE This code is used for rapid motion of the cutter in air to traverse from one position to another as fast as possible. This code will work for all axis motion up to three axes at once. This G00 code is modal and causes all the following blocks to be in rapid motion until another Group 01 code is specified. The actual rapid federate is dependent on the machine. Generally, rapid motions "will not" be in a straight line. All the axes specified are moved at the maximum speed and will not necessarily complete each axis move at the same time. It activates each axis drive motor independently of each other and, as a result, the axis with the shortest move will reach its destination first. So you need to be careful of any obstructions to avoid with this type of rapid move. G00 is used when you are positioning the cutter in fresh air. Retracting from a hole you have drilled. Rapid traverse is not used when cutting the part. Used incorrectly, rapid traverse will break a cutter very easily. G01 LINEAR INTERPOLATION This G code provides for straight line (linear) motion with programmed feedrate for all axis motions from point to point. Motion can occur up to three axes at once. All axes specified will start at the same time and proceed to their destination and arrive simultaneously at the specified feedrate. To program a feedrate, the F command is used. The F command is modal and may be specified in a previous block. G01 is used for Drilling a hole Machining a slot Machining a profile Mill Lesson 2-7 Page 15

32 LESSON-4 DRILL CANNED CYCLE G81 G80 CANCEL CANNED CYCLE A canned cycle permits multiple function programming on one block. A canned cycle is canceled with G80. G81 CANNED CYCLE DRILL X Y Z R F Format: G99 G81 Z R0.1 F10. Rapid X location (Optional) Rapid Y location (Optional) Z-depth (Feed to Z-depth starting from R Plane) R-Plane (Rapid point to start feeding) Feed rate in inches/min This G code permits the inclusion of multiple axis motions on one block of program. It is used to reduce the length of program. The figure below shows the axis motions that are included with a Canned Cycle Drill. All Z axis motions are in ABSOLUTE with any other axis motions unaffected. In a canned cycle drill, the cutter moves at rapid to the X and Y, then to a height above the part at rapid rate to the R Plane, which is a point above the work surface. From the R Plane the cutter feeds to the Z-depth at the specified feedrate. When the cutter reaches the Z depth, it retracts at rapid rate to the R Plane. G99 returns the tool to the R Plane after each hole, G98 returns the tool to the initial starting plane. Page 24 Mill Lesson 4-2

G02 and G03 allow the machining of circles and arcs When the machine is required to move in a straight line under a controlled federate, linear interpolation is used G01. When it is necessary to machine in a circular motion in any plane (XY, YZ, XZ) circular interpolation is used G02 and G03. All circular interpolation moves are defined using three pieces of information. 1. DIRECTION OF TRAVEL: CLOCKWISE G02, COUNTER CLOCKWISE G03 2. PROGRAMMED END POINT OF THE ARC 3. ARC CENTER: INCREMENTAL DISTANCE FROM START POINT TO ARC CENTER (I, J, K OR R FOR RADIUS, I,J AND K ARE NOT USED) When trying to figure out a circular interpolation move answer these three questions: I. What is the direction of travel, clockwise or counterclockwise G02 or G03? II. Where is the programmed end point? III.

114 LESSON-10 - G40, G41, & G42 CUTTER COMPENSATION Cutter Compensation is used to offset the center of the cutter and move the cutter either to the left or right the distance of the cutter radius. When cutting angled geometry, substantial computations are required to determine the center of the cutter. Using Cutter Compensation, you can program the part as if the center of the cutter will be travelling along the geometry. G40 CUTTER COMPENSATION CANCEL G40 will cancel the G41 or G42 cutter compensation commands. G41 CUTTER COMPENSATION LEFT G41 will action cutter compensation left. The tool is moved to the left of the programmed path to compensate for the radius of the tool. A Dnn must also be programmed to select the correct tool size from the DIAMETER/RADIUS offset display register. G42 CUTTER COMPENSATION RIGHT G42 will action cutter compensation right. The tool is moved to the right of the programmed path to compensate for the size of the tool. G41 Left of the Line G41 G42 Right of the Line G41 : Tool is moved to the left of the profile (e.g. Outside Profile shown as above) G42 : Tool is moved to the right of the profile (e.g. Inside Profile shown as above) G41 Page 106 Lesson 10-2

147 CENTER DRILLING CENTER DRILLING Before most drilling operations take place a starting drill must be programmed to make a small hole for the larger drill that will follow. The tool used to make the starting hole is known as a center drill, sizes of center drills vary and the use of the different sizes is governed by the size of the drill that will be used after. The following is a chart that will assist in choosing the proper size of the center drill and programming the correct Z depth. DRILL POINT LENGTH On most engineering drawings the finished depth of the hole will be given from the front edge of the part to the end of the parallel part of the hole (not including the drill point). This poses a programming problem because we program from the point of the drill so any Z depth we specify has to include the length of the drill point. To do this we have a calculation to perform based on the diameter of the drill and the angle of the drill point (usually 118 ). Quite simply the calculation is as follows: Drill Point Length = Diameter x Constant Where DIA. refers to the drill diameter and the constant is stated in the following chart DRILL ANGLE CONSTANTS 60 = = = = = = = = = = = = Mill Appendix - 17 Page 139

166 PROGRAMMING NOTE As you may have noticed, there are no Incremental or Absolute modes included in the Preparatory Commands (G codes). On a CNC turning center or Lathe, the mode is always set to Absolute and diameter, if an Incremental movement is required the letters U or W are used for X or Z respectively. X OVERCUT Most lathe tools have a radius on the front or cutting edge; it is referred to as Tool Nose Radius. This radius must be compensated for in the calculation of the tool path much like the tool radius offset in milling operations, this offset is known as Tool Nose Radius Compensation. We will discuss this later on in this book but for now, know that when we program a facing operation we must account for the radius in our final X position of the facing move to create a flat surface. This extra value that we program is sometimes referred to as overcut. Page 10 Lathe Lesson 2-4

167 COMMONLY USED MISCELLANEOUS M CODES CODE FUNCTION M00 M01 M03 M04 M05 M08 M09 M10 M11 M12 M13 M17 M18 The M00 code is used for a Program Stop command on the machine. It stops the spindle, turns off coolant and stops look-a-head processing. Pressing CYCLE START again will continue the program on the next block of the program. The M01 code is used for an Optional Program Stop command. Pressing the OPT STOP key on the control panel signals the machine to perform a stop command when the control reads an M01 command. It will then perform like an M00. Optional stops are useful when machining the first part to allow for inspection of the part as it is machined. Starts the spindle CLOCKWISE for most machining. Must have a spindle speed defined. The M03 is used to turn the spindle on at the beginning of program or after a tool change. Starts the spindle COUNTERCLOCKWISE. Must have a spindle speed defined. STOPS the spindle. If the coolant is on, the M05 will turn it off. Coolant ON command. Coolant OFF command.

168 RAPID G00 AND LINEAR G01 INTERPOLATION G00 RAPID TRAVERSE This code is used for rapid motion of the tool in air to traverse from one position to another as fast as possible. This code will work for both axis motions at once. This G00 code is modal and causes all the following blocks to be in rapid (up to 1000 in./min.) motion until another Group 01 code is specified, for example G01 linear interpolation. Generally, rapid motions "will not" be in a straight line. All the axes specified are moved at the maximum speed and will not necessarily complete each axis move at the same time. It activates each axis drive motor independently of each other and, as a result, the axis with the shortest move will reach its destination first. So you need to be careful of any obstructions to avoid with this type of rapid move. G00 is used when you are positioning the tool in fresh air. Retracting from a hole you have drilled. Rapid traverse is not used when cutting the part. Used incorrectly, rapid traverse will break a tool very easily and possibly remove the part from the chuck. G01 LINEAR INTERPOLATION This G code provides for straight line (linear) motion with programmed feedrate for all axis motions from point to point. Motion can occur with both axes at once. All axes specified will start at the same time and proceed to their destination and arrive simultaneously at the specified feedrate. To program a feedrate, the F command is used. The F command is modal and may be specified in a previous block. G01 is used for Drilling a hole Turning a diameter Machining a profile I.D and O.D. Grooving I.D and O.D. Page 12 Lathe Lesson 2-6

169 EXAMPLE OF PROGRAM START-UP BLOCKS N10 G18 G20 G40 G54 G80 G97 G99 Many programs have a G code default line or Safety Block at the beginning of the program, this is to ensure the machine control is in a safe start condition before proceeding with the program. If the previous program had failed to cancel certain function this Safety Block would help ensure that the new program starts with the appropriate settings. For example the G codes below would perform the following at the start of the program: G18 - ZX Plane Selection G20 - Inch Programming G40 - Cancel Tool Nose Compensation G54 - Work Offset Command G80 - Cancels Canned Cycles G97 - Constant Non-Varying Spindle Speed G99 - Feed Per Revolution MACHINE DEFAULTS When the machine tool is powered on the control automatically recognizes a series of codes. On the Haas lathe the G codes listed below are set when the lathe is powered up: G00 Rapid Traverse G18 XZ Circular Plane Selection G40 Cutter Compensation Cancel G54 Work Coordinate Zero #1 G64 Exact Stop Cancel G80 Canned Cycle Cancel G97 Constant Surface Speed Cancel G99 Feed Per Revolution Lathe Lesson 2-7 Page 13

Note: Depending on the setup of the lathe and to avoid any crashes while returning to machine zero it is usually best to move to machine zero in only one axis first. You need to be aware of where the tool is located and on its journey to machine zero, will it collide with anything? Lathe Lesson 2-9 Page 15

172 MOVING TO MACHINE ZERO G28 and G53 G28 - FANUC RETURN TO MACHINE ZERO THROUGH REFERENCE POINT The G28 code is used to return to the machine zero position on all axes. If you program G28 on its own the machine will move in the X and Z axis simultaneously to machine zero. To command only the turret to return to machine zero, and not the tailstock if one is being used, program in G28 U0 W0 to send only the X and Z axes home and the tailstock will remain in place. G00 G28 X3.00 Z2.00 The above command would position the tool from the current position to the absolute position of X3.00 and Z2.00, and then to the X and Y axis machine zero point. This is a movement through an absolute intermediate point. This can be used as a way to move to a clearance point and then return to machine zero. Haas has a G53 program code that works similar to G28. Example: G53 G00 X-2.0 Z-4.0 The machine will move negative 2.0 inches from the machine zero position in the X axis, and negative 4.0 inches from home position in the Z axis. G53 G00 X0 Z0 This block will send the turret to machine Zero. Page 16 Lathe Lesson 2-10

173 G40, G41, & G42 TOOL NOSE COMPENSATION When a program is created it is done so using the insert s command or reference point (see figure below). Tool Nose Compensation is used to offset the tool by a distance that will bring the cutting edge of the insert to the proper position in relation to the specific radius of the insert being used. The radius of the tool must be input into the controller and it will calculate the proper offset known as Tool Nose Compensation. G40 TOOL COMPENSATION CANCEL G40 will cancel the G41 or G42 tool compensation commands that are in effect at the time. G41 TOOL COMPENSATION LEFT (BORING) G41 will select tool compensation to the LEFT of the contouring direction; generally G41 is used for boring. The tool is compensated for the radius of the tool tip. The value of the compensation (tool radius) must be entered in the controller registry during set-up. G42 TOOL COMPENSATION RIGHT (TURNING) G42 will select tool compensation to the RIGHT of the contouring direction; generally G42 is used for turning. The tool is compensated for the radius of the tool tip. The value of the compensation (tool radius) must be entered in the controller registry during set-up. Lathe Lesson 2-11 Page 17

175 CNC PROGRAMMING WORKBOOK LESSON-3 DRILLING Page 19

176 LESSON-3 CENTER DRILL & DRILLING CENTER DRILLING Before most drilling operations take place a starting drill must be programmed to make a small hole for the larger drill that will follow. The tool used to make the starting hole is known as a center drill, sizes of center drills vary and the use of the different sizes is governed by the size of the drill that will be used after. The following is a chart that will assist in choosing the proper size of the center drill and programming the correct Z depth. DRILL POINT LENGTH On most engineering drawings the finished depth of the hole will be given from the front edge of the part to the end of the parallel part of the hole (not including the drill point). This poses a programming problem because we program from the point of the drill so any Z depth we specify has to include the length of the drill point. To do this we have a calculation to perform based on the diameter of the drill and the angle of the drill point (usually 118 ). Quite simply the calculation is as follows: Drill Point Length = Diameter x Constant Where DIA. refers to the drill diameter and the constant is stated in the following chart DRILL ANGLE CONSTANTS 60 = = = = = = = = = = = = Page 20 Lathe Lesson 3-2

Rapid X location (Optional) Z-depth (Optional - Feed to Z-depth starting from R Plane) R-Plane (Rapid point to start feeding) Feed rate This G code permits the inclusion of multiple axis motions on one block of program. It is used to reduce the length of program. All Z axis motions are in ABSOLUTE with any other axis motions unaffected. In a canned cycle drill, the cutter moves at rapid to the X and Z axis specified, then to a Z value in front of the hole at rapid rate to the R Plane, which is a point clear of the work piece. From the R Plane the drill feeds to the Z-depth at the specified feedrate. When the cutter reaches the Z depth, it retracts at rapid rate to the R Plane.

185 FACING FACING After a work piece has been loaded into a lathe the first operation should be to face the end of the part to make it flat. This will allow the later turning and boring operations to start the cut without having a sometimes large interrupted cut due to an uneven face. There are fixed or canned cycles that can be programmed to do this but for now we will talk about manually programming this operation. A safe starting position away from the Outside Diameter (OD) of the rough material should be determined, as well as from the uneven front face of the raw material (X and Z). Depth of the face cut should be made from the safe position to the Z position required, then program the X cut along the face as linear interpolation. If the material has a rough bore the X coordinate for facing should be programmed a sufficient amount smaller than the Inside Diameter (ID) of the bore, as there is no need to go to X0 this will eliminate fresh air cutting. Don t forget the overcut! The usual amount of the overcut is not much more than the radius of the facing insert, if too much overcut is programmed damage to the insert itself may occur due to rubbing of the cutting edge on the material.

187 LINEAR ROUGH TURNING EXAMPLE LINEAR ROUGH TURNING EXAMPLE - ROUGHING TOOLPATH This Example program faces the front of the part, one rough cut, one finish cut. After facing the front of the bar stock the diameters are rough turned, leaving a small amount of material for a finish pass. For this example a maximum cut of 0.25 off the diameter is being taken, leaving 0.03 on the diameter and on all Z faces. A finishing pass will be programmed in the next exercise. The bar stock is 1.5 diameter X0 is centerline of the part, Z0 is the front face (far right) of the part All X positions are diameter, all Z positions past the front face are Z- After facing the tool is retracted in X&Z (U&W) a small amount (0.05 ) then rapids to the X diameter of the first Z feed across the rough OD of the part. The tool is once again retracted in X&Z (U&W) then rapids back to a safe position in Z, and then brought to the next position in X diameter for the next feed across and so on. The x 45 chamfers will be added later in the finishing tool path In this example the rough turning passes will machine past the left end of the part by 0.2. The reason for this is to remove material prior to the parting off operation; this will leave less material for the parting tool to remove. Lathe Lesson 4-5 Page 31

It does not have to be run directly after the roughing cycle but can be run in the same main program. The start and finish blocks of the original definition of the profile that was used in the rough cycle are used to define the contour of the finish cycle. It is recommended that the same start point is used for both rough and finish cycles to ensure safe tool paths of both operations. TYPICAL O.D.

199 LESSON 5 EXAMPLE - ROUGH AND FINISH TURNING CANNED CYCLES In the previous lesson the part shown below was programmed as an exercise, the program in the previous lesson did not use canned cycles to rough the diameters. In this example program the part will be programmed using canned cycle G71 to rough the diameters of the part and G70 to Finish machine the contour Z Zero is at the right face of the part The part is being made from 1.5 diameter bar stock This Example program faces the front of the part, then a series of rough cuts and one finish cut. After facing the front of the bar stock the diameters are rough turned, leaving a small amount of material for a finish pass. For this example a maximum cut of 0.1 off the diameter is being taken, leaving 0.03 on the diameter and on all Z faces. In this example the rough turning passes will machine past the left end of the part by 0.2. The reason for this is to remove material prior to the parting off operation; this will leave less material for the parting tool to remove Material: Alum T6061 Lathe Lesson 5-5 Page 43

These are the eight possible tool positions, the ninth position is a neutral one, sometimes used when no tool offset is needed.

Feed rate 15 in/min When the machine is required to move in a straight line under a controlled federate, linear interpolation is used (G01). When it is necessary to travel in the circular motion in any plane (XY, YZ, XZ), circular interpolation is used (G02, G03). The velocity at which the tool is moving is controlled by the feed rate (F) command. All circular interpolation moves are defined and machined by programming three pieces of information into the control. 1. DIRECTION OF TRAVEL: CLOCKWISE G02, COUNTER CLOCKWISE G03 2.

229 CNC PROGRAMMING WORKBOOK LESSON-7 TOOL NOSE COMPENSATION Page 73

230 G40, G41, & G42 TOOL NOSE COMPENSATION When a program is created it is done so using the insert s command or reference point (see figure below). Tool Nose Compensation is used to offset the tool by a distance that will bring the cutting edge of the insert to the proper position in relation to the specific radius of the insert being used. The radius of the tool must be input into the controller and it will calculate the proper offset known as Tool Nose Compensation. G40 TOOL COMPENSATION CANCEL G40 will cancel the G41 or G42 tool compensation commands that are in effect at the time. G41 TOOL COMPENSATION LEFT (BORING) G41 will select tool compensation to the LEFT of the contouring direction; generally G41 is used for boring. The tool is compensated for the radius of the tool tip. The value of the compensation (tool radius) must be entered in the controller registry during set-up. G42 TOOL COMPENSATION RIGHT (TURNING) G42 will select tool compensation to the RIGHT of the contouring direction; generally G42 is used for turning. The tool is compensated for the radius of the tool tip. The value of the compensation (tool radius) must be entered in the controller registry during set-up. Page 74 Lathe Lesson 7-2

231 G40, G41, & G42 TOOL NOSE COMPENSATION Tool Nose Compensation is used to offset the tool by a distance that will bring the cutting edge of the insert to the proper position in relation to the specific radius of the insert being used. The radius of the tool must be input into the CNC controller and it will calculate the proper offset known as Tool Nose Radius Compensation. G40 is Tool Nose Radius Compensation CANCEL G41 is Tool Nose Radius Compensation LEFT of the programmed path G42 is Tool Nose Radius Compensation RIGHT of the programmed path The shift direction is based on the direction of the tool movement relative to the tool, and which side of the part it is on. When thinking about which direction the compensated shift will occur in tool nose compensation, imagine looking down the tool tip and steering the tool. Tool nose compensation works by shifting the Programmed Tool Path to the right or to the left. The programmer will usually program the tool path to the finished size. When tool nose compensation is used, the CNC control will compensate for the radius of the insert based on instructions written into the program. At the CNC machine Tool Nose Compensation accomplishes its job by reading ahead one or two blocks to determine how it must modify the current programmed block of code. This is done, so that the control can calculate in advance, how to position around radiuses and angles with a specified tool nose radius. This is referred to as Block Look-A-head Or Look-Ahead Processing. Tool nose compensation does not need to be used when the programmed cuts are solely along the X axis (diameters) or Z axis (faces). Cutter compensation comes into effect on angled cuts and radius cuts. Lathe Lesson 7-3 Page 75

235 CNC PROGRAMMING WORKBOOK LESSON-8 GROOVING/PART-OFF Page 79

236 GROOVING GROOVING When a circular slot or groove is needed in a part a special shaped tool may be needed. A grooving tool is the tool that is most commonly used. It comes in many shapes and sizes but usually has one thing in common, which is that it feeds straight in along the X axis and plunges into the part. A grooving tool is typically used to plunge into the part and make a groove around the part, but some grooving inserts are designed to cut in the X and Z axis direction.

237 PARTING-OFF PARTING-OFF Parting-off is very similar to grooving but instead of stopping at a required depth of groove, the part-off tool is able to go right to the center of the part to allow the finished part to fall away from the chuck of the lathe. The design of the tool may be similar but the intent is very different. EXAMPLE OF PROGRAMMING A PART-OFF OPERATION O (TYPICAL PART-OFF EXAMPLE) N1 G20...

A small retract move while cutting the groove allows the chip to break. The G75 cycle is non-modal. With G75 either a single pecking cycle can be performed, as for a single groove, or a series of pecking moves can be performed for multiple grooves. G75 can also be used to cut-off the part by using the single pass options. When a Z or W code is added to a G75 block and Z is not the current position, then a minimum of two pecking cycles will occur, one at the current location and another at the Z location. The K code is the incremental distance between Z axis pecking cycles. Adding a K will perform multiple evenly spaced, pecking cycles between the starting position and Z. When I is added to a G75 block, then pecking will be performed at each interval specified by I, the peck is a rapid move opposite the direction of feed and the peck distance is obtained from Setting 22 on the Haas control.

245 HAAS G75 GROOVING CYCLE SINGLE PASS - FOR CUT-OFF N61 G75 X I0.1 F0.002 At block 61 the grooving canned cycle G75 is being used to cut-off the part at the end of the machining operations. The X is the destination that the tool will arrive at along the X axis. This move is at a feed rate of per revolution. In this block the I value is set to 0.1, this is the X-axis pecking depth increment, a radius value. As the tool moves to the X position it will cut for 0.1 and then retract to break the chip. This retract move is a small amount and on the Hass lathe is governed by Setting 22. The Hass lathe used in the machining videos has Setting 22 set to 0.01 When the G75 cycle is complete it will return to the starting X position at rapid. Lathe Lesson 8-11 Page 89

G76 can be used to create multiple cutting passes along the length of a thread. The height of the thread is specified in K, this height is defined as the distance from the crest of the thread to the root. The calculated depth of the thread will be K less the finish allowance. On the Hass lathe Setting 86 (THREAD FINISH ALLOWANCE) is this stock allowance for a finish pass allowance, if required. The depth of the first cut of the thread is specified in D. This also determines the number of passes over the thread based on the value of K and the cutting method used. The depth of the last cut on the thread can be controlled with Setting 99 on the Hass lathe (THREAD MINIMUM CUT). The last cut will never be less than this value. The default value is.001 inches/.01 mm. The feed rate is the Lead of thread. The F feed rate in a G76 threading cycle is 1.0 divided by the number of threads per inch = F. (1.0 divided by 11 TPI = F ) Page 102 Lathe Lesson 9-2

It can be used for simple threading. Since it is modal, you can do multiple passes for threading by just specifying a new X location for successive passes. For example: N16 G92 X.523 Z-0.8 F M24 N17 X.520 (Additional Pass) N18 X.515 (Additional Pass) N19 X.5135 (Additional Pass) (First Pass of a G92 O.D.

260 HAAS M24 - THREAD CHAMFER OFF N91 X0.650 M24 At the end of the thread an optional chamfer can be performed. The size and angle of the chamfer is controlled with Setting 95 (THREAD CHAMFER SIZE) and Setting 96 (THREAD CHAMFER ANGLE). The chamfer size is designated in number of threads, so that if is recorded in Setting 95 and the feed rate is.05, then the chamfer will be.05. If relief is provided for at the end of the thread, then the chamfer can be eliminated by specifying for the chamfer size in Setting 95. The default value for Setting 95 is and the default angle for the thread (Setting 96) is 45 degrees. A chamfer can improve the appearance and functionality of threads that must be machined up to a shoulder. As the Lesson-9 Example part has a wide undercut M24 will be programed as no chamfer is required. M23 commands chamfer on. M24 commands chamfer off. M23 is the default value.

261 THREADING THREADING The portion of the example CNC program below cuts the UNC thread on the Lesson-9 Example part, the drawing is shown below. At block N93 the G76 threading cycle is used to cut the thread in multiple passes. The G92 threading cycle is used at block N95 and N97 to perform spring passes. These spring passes are sometimes referred to as ghost passes. The threading tool is not moved any deeper but cuts along the path previously cut to clean up and get a good finish on the threads.

262 THREADING - G76 THREADING CYCLE THREADING - G76 THREADING CYCLE N93 G76 X Z-0.8 K D F At block N93 the G76 threading cycle is used to cut the thread in multiple passes. X is the root diameter of the UNC thread. The root diameter was identified in the Machinery s Handbook. Z-0.8 is the absolute Z-axis target location. This is past the end of the thread. K is the thread height, a radius value. This is / 2 = D is the first pass cutting depth. This determines how many cuts will be taken to reach the final depth. F is the feed rate. The threading feed rate is the thread distance per revolution. The calculation for this thread having 11 threads per inch is 1 divided by 11 which is equals to Page 106 Lathe Lesson 9-6

263 THREADING G92 THREADING CYCLE THREADING G92 THREADING CYCLE N95 G92 X.5135 Z-0.8 F N97 G92 X.5135 Z-0.8 F At block N95 and N97 the G92 threading cycle is used after the G76 cycle to cut the thread in two single passes both at the same depth. G92 is being used in the Example program to perform two spring passes The G92 is a modal canned cycle. It can be used for simple threading. Once the first G92 block is input with all the relevant values, additional threading cuts can be made by just the input of the desired X value. X is the root diameter of the UNC thread. The root diameter was identified in the Machinery s Handbook. Z-0.8 is the absolute Z-axis target location. This is past the end of the thread. F is the feed rate. The threading feed rate is the thread distance per revolution. The calculation for this thread having 11 threads per inch is 1 divided by 11 which is equals to Lathe Lesson 9-7 Page 107
