I don't think that that is what happens. (I was a little surprised by this myself recently) G33.1 basically works in any direction. if you program a pure X move then it will "tap" sideways. It isn't a canned cycle like G85 and friends. it is a more complex version of G33, which is spindle-synched motion in any direction. (this can be useful, I have used it to thread in compound directions) You need to re-cast your code as a sequence of G0 positioning moves and a G33.1 move to a specified Z. -- 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-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
