Intercon drilling cycle warning
Also, how come there are no intercon menus for pexk drilling cycles like g73? I rarely use intercon and today had a play.
Re: Intercon drilling cycle warning
The warning is correct.
The "Rapid to" depth (the R value in the G code drilling cycle) needs to be at or below the initial clearance height. You have it above the clearance height, which is incorrect.
The "Help" graphic is incorrect. It has the labels reversed.
In Intercon's vocabulary:
"Clearance Height" is the height above the surface at which to move from hole to hole.
"'Rapid to' Depth" is the height above the surface, once over the hole, to rapid down to before slowing to feedrate.
