Re: G76 format?

Dave,

I'd like to help with this also. I'll post another responce to this
monday evening when I have my manuals/notebooks in hand. Let me know
if you prefer a group or off line responce.

I'm totally in favor of the fanuc method which does the g-76 (canned
cycle) multipass threading (both tapered and straight)with a single
line of code versus the the two line command canned cycle as used on
the mitsubishi and others. They are basically the same just different
methods of entering the varibles for the macros.

I may have a print out of the mitsubishi g-76 macro somewhere. I'm in
the middle of changing isp's so my e-mail address may not be valid if
you try to respond off line.
