G72 & G70 Lathe Cycle

LECTURE 5
G72 – Face Roughing Cycle
Syntax:
G72 W__ R__ ;
G72 P__ Q__ U__ W__ F__ S__ ;

W = depth of cut, (mm)


R = retract height, (mm)
P = block number start
Q = block number end
U = finishing allowance in x-axis (mm)
W = finishing allowance in Z- axis (mm)
F = federate (mm/min or mm/rev)
S = spindle speed (rev or m/min)
