What is the G code for Grooving? Not G75?

[cjchands]

Hi,
I finally got Gecko 201 and stepper to work with MACH3.
But when I ran G75X_Z_I_K_F0.008 (grooving cycle format same as FANUC)
It didn't work? Gave me error!.
I tried to look in the manual, but found nothing about G-CODE lathe, it seem
G75 for milling cycle is different.

Additionally,
G70 (O.D. Finish)
G71 (O.D. Rough)
from Fanuc G-code didn't work as well.

Any idea?
Thanks
Jeff

There's a list of supported g-codes in the manual.

Gary,
Thanks for the link to turning manual,
I found G code information about threading G76 and G32.
However, I still can't find G-code for canned cycle.

1). O.D. Rough
2). O.D. Finish
3). Grooving.

I did the search on a keyword on Grooving, but just show me the picture of grooving tool.
And Cannced cycle-turning G77 didn't say much information.

I don't think they are supported, but there may be wizards to let you do what you want. Never used Turn though, so don't really know.

Yeah, it seem that most canned cycle is more for Milling/Drilling.
Thanks for response though.
