What is the L supposed to do? The way I read the program the tool would: G0 X1 Y2 Z3 - move (in G90) to X1 Y2 Z3 or (in G91) move 1 inch X , 2 inches Y and 3 inches Z
G91 G98 G81 X4 Y5 Z-0.6 R1.8 L3 - in the drill cycle the tool would rapid 1.8 inches positive Z , move 4 inches positive X and 5 inches positive Y then drill .06 negative Z then rapid 1.2 inches negative Z to the starting point is L supposed to repeat the complete cycle 3 times?
