    Default G76 Threading cycle

    I've been perusing a peter smid book on cnc programming.

    Currently I'm using a G92 threading cycle to look like:
    Code:
    N620T0404
    N630G97S300M03
    N640G00X5.174Z0.77
    N650G92X4.828Z-4.360I-0.430F0.2501
    N660X4.818
    N670X4.788
    N680X4.758M08
    N690X4.728
    N700X4.698
    N710X4.664
    N720X4.634
    N730X4.614
    N740X4.594
    N750X4.584
    N760X4.574M09
    N770G00Z14.0
    And I'm trying to make it into the allegedly superior G76 function.

    I'm cutting API 60° threads, 4 TPI 2TFP 0.121 final thread depth

    So far I've got it to

    Code:
    G97S350M03
    T0400
    G00 X5.174 Z0.77 T0404 M08
    G76 X4.828 Z-4.360 I-0.430 K0.121 D0140 A60 P2 E0.250
    I'm almost certain the "D" is wrong, and I'm still currently missing the "X" value for it to calculate the first thread diameter.

    The book ive been referencing is located at Link

    at page 352ish.


    Just looking for some help as I have no idea where I find what I want those values to be. I believe my control is a Fanuc 0i

    Noshibby,

    First, I've never cut API threads, so...

    If X4.574 worked in your G92 cycle it should work in your G76 cycle.

    G76 X4.574 Z-4.360 I-0.430 K0.121 D0140 A60 P2 E0.250

    4.574 + 0.121 + 0.121 = Dia 1st pass (0.014) is calculated from, so if I'm not mistaken your first pass target X will be X4.778.

    Are you sure one-line G76 applies to your machine?

    If it doesn't you can change the highlighted setting to enable one-line cycles.

    And don't forget, there are A,B,C type canned cycles. Found that one out trying to use a canned cycle and watching the machine turn in to metric.

    I'm assuming since his G92 is cutting a thread and not performing a coordinate system preset, he's got G-Code System A
