How short can a program be and still qualify as a program? I had drilled and parted off some short pieces of leaded hexagon which needed tapping 1/2"-20. I didn't want to disturb another setup on the lathe so I figured on tapping them in the mill. Five lines written in MDI and a cycle time of 2 seconds made them the shortest job I have ever done.

) I will add a program number and save it to memory. Just to keep all the technical people happy.

| Quick Drilling PGM 1) PGM# 2) S-PGM G-Models 3) Tool Call, Spdl Speed, First Location 4) Height Call G43 5) Drill Cycle 6) S-PGM Incremental Locations 7) S-PGM Tool Retract G-Cancels Y Home 8) M30 Quick Facing PGM 1) PGM# 2) S-PGM G-Models 3) Tool Call Spdle Speed, Start Location 4) Height Call G43 5) Feed Across 6) S-PGM Tool Retract Send Y Home 7) M30 I would safely say 7 Sequence Blocks is the shortest without using MDI.
