my fusion360 post processor outputs g73 drill cycles. also g50 for maximum rpm . in the mach 3 turn pdf they are not in the initial g code list  but are in the descriptions .  So as I'm new to turning ,what canned cycles can mach3turn  use for drilling?  also im confused as to whether or not i could use constant surface speed .
also it sometimes doesn't use f/rev   it reverts to f/min
advice on safe start g code list for start of code might help
i get an error on n117    R less than Y in cycle XZ plane

Any help would be appreciated

G50 is axis scale funtion in Mach3. G48 is max RPM in CSS. CSS however does not work correctly in Mach3. The spindle speed will vary to keep the Surface speed correct but if using G95 (feed per rev) then the axis will not speed or slow with the spindle but rather it will just stay at a constant feed per minute which is determined by the initial feed per rev when you start the command.


Been a while but I don't think there is a G73 in Turn, maybe G83 drill cycles?

what canned cycles can mach3turn  use for drilling

Per the Turn Manual description , G73, G81, G82, G83, G83.1 I have used / and tried them all. Not sure if some version versions of Mach will cause problems with them.
It's been a while since I tested them.

use constant surface speed also it sometimes doesn't use f/rev

Just a few days ago there was a thread about Mach3 and CSS. Do a search for the thread.
CSS doesn't / can't work properly in Mach 3 Turn if i recall. See the thread for explainations about it.

advice on safe start g code list for start of code

Only you can define how you want to work and and what conditions would be appropriate ie; what modes and conditions should  be in place. You use an initilization macro to accomplish a generic start up condition.

attached is MACH3 TURN G & M code list from the MACH3 TURN Manual

G73 & G50 exist.

ok so only the codes on this list work.thanks... the error i get from the drill cycle goes if i put g17  before the drill cycle   ...g18 is in the header
what's the best fix for this

the error i get from the drill cycle goes if i put g17  before the drill cycle

Why would you change the plane? G18 defines the "only relevant" plane for Turn.

RICH

i get an error on n117    R less than Y in cycle XZ plane  which goes if i change g18 to g17 ...so im just trying to get to the route cause of the issue so i dont have to change to g17

i presume the post processor needs changing somehow

In Reply #2 I made the following comment:
Per the Turn Manual description , G73, G81, G82, G83, G83.1 I have used / and tried them all.
It's been a while since I tested them.

The above is true ..... BUT ...... let me not miss guide you!
I would need to spend time going through each canned cycle as it relates to TURN to be absolutely
definitive on their use and quirks in Mach 3 TURN.  To many irons in the fire at this time!

Just a "guess" on your G17 and G18 change:
Mach 3 Turn "may" be interperting G73 such, even though you are in lathe the G73 is for
Mill and the G17 cures the problem by saying it's in the XY plane. G83 without the G17
add works as it  may be considered face drilling. Guess only............

One can change the post processor in Fusion, and i have done it, but one needs to understand
exactly what  they are doing. Not for the thing to do for the novice in my opinion!

Route cause is actualy three fold:
- Mach 3 lathe configuration used
- Mach3 Turn canned cycle quirks
- How one uses Fusion to generate lathe code and the dialect of Gcode Fusion generates
  and post processor used.

Surely not a reply you wanted to hear from me,
