It looks like UCCNC are using G84 as a canned G33.1 https://www.forum.cncdrive.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=622 G33.1 is not in the nIST document, so might have been introduced by one of the LinuxCNC developers. Presumably he saw that G84 was already taken (for floating tapping) and decided that Rigid was more like a G33. As time goes by, with many manufacturers doing the same thing (ie, looking for gaps in the G-code name-space) the standard is becoming less and less standard. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
