How would it use R? If you want to retract to R (the retract plane) you can use G83. If you are suggesting that this one cycle should use R in a completely different way from the rest, that makes me nervous. For instance you can switch between canned cycles without resetting the retract plane - this is a feature. Do you know of a control that uses G73 R like this? > This query is a result of a forum post.

So the actual problem is the chip doesn't break during this retract? That's pretty shocking. The actual answer to his question (which you already found out) is that the distance can't be configured without recompiling. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit: Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE: Pinpoint memory and threading errors before they happen.
