I agree that it is
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

One of the most powerful reasons to switch to LCNC is the faster
Hi,
I've been looking into the canned cycles in LinuxCNC and the relative
version is odd.
The gcode documentation has an example:
G0 X1 Y2 Z3
G91 G98 G81 X4 Y5 Z-0.6 R1.8 L3
It should make a nice pattern, but it drills in the wrong direction
(down-to-up). The R-word need to be -1.8 (negative)
