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 i

I agree that it is
Yeah - I did some digging and that whole "L" word in a fixed cycle dates back
to the original NIST RS-274D-NGC.
IMHO - Its a dinosaur that should have died out. I consider it an accident
waiting to be activated by the user.
One of the most powerful reasons to switch to LCNC is the faster proc
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) to
