    Combining grid hole and pocket cycles

    Hi,
    I am very new to cnc milling so please be patient.
    I have a cincinatti arrow 500 (ct control)
    the code i am using is for drilling and counter boring :-

    6mm hole
    G81X40Y0Z-7R2E1
    G173X40Y0U330V84D16P8

    c/bore 8mm e/mill
    G81X40Y0Z-3R2E1
    G173X40Y0U330V84D16P8

    This works fine, But i want to include a pocket cycle to make 9.3mm c/bore using the 8mm end mill.

    any help would be greatly appriciated
    Thanks

    I think you need to mill a circular pocket in each location. I am unaware of there being a G code that will do that for you. You can repeat and rotate/ translate the pocket if you do not want to figure out the coordinates of each location.
