I am trying to rough machine this shaft using G71 roughing on an oi-tc fanuc control. it roughs fine except the last roughing pass feeds real fast on the 1st step of the shaft. it feeds about .050 per rev. when it steps up to the second size it feeds normal. it also wants to feed fast on the G70 finish cycle.
 
that's the first part of the program. I guess I didn't take a picture of the rest of the program. I'm at home now. I'll have to get the rest tomorrow
 
Check to make sure you have a G01 in the canned cycle starting at the appropriate feed line between your N100 and N110 numbers. If it's not there it will rapid across the last step of the cycle.

that was the problem. no G01. I'm surprised that it didn't just try to cut the whole thing in rapid rather than just the last pass.

As a rule of thumb, the profile should be defined by G01, not G00. Though it will not affect the roughing passes, the step-removal pass (as well as G70) will use G00/G01, whichever is used to define the profile.
However, the first profile-definition block (P-block)should have G00; otherwise G70 will approach the part with G01, wasting time.
Another point to note is, G71 uses the feedrate defined in its calling block. The feedrate defined between P-Q blocks is used by G70.
