Custom BACK SPOT FACE for large holes:
The process involves a back counter bar loaded in the spindle.
The bar goes thruthe existing hole to a clearance position, such as <back_bore_clearance>. At this point I need a M00 (stop feed/spindle).
Machine operator loads cutter into bar.
Cycle start and spindle starts and feeds to counterbored surface, dwells, goes back to <back_bore_clearance> position, and again outputs an M00.
Operator unloads tool and cycle start and bar pulls out and goes to next hole.
My goal isto add a M00 in a custom cycle. Would also like to add a PPRINT as well in the custom cycle informing machine operator when to load/unload cutter.
The custom cycle works great for flip cutters but what about large holes where the cycle would require operator intervention?
Has anyone encounterd this type of cycle
