G76 Problem on SMX3100

I am having trouble getting a G76 cycle to work. I am trying to produce a 1.250-16UN-2A external thread.

I am running the tool above the workpiece until I’m happy. At the moment the tool is coming down to the first cut diameter and then running back and forward to the Z depth but without lifting up on the diameter or changing diameter at all.

I have compared my program with previous proven programs and it has the same code. I am not sure what is going wrong this time.

I have a screenshot of the code which I will try and post. Any help would be much appreciated. On the SMX3100 the P and Q values on the second G76 line have an extra digit than normal. This is correct on this machine.

I didn't read the whole thing, but this immediately stands out as incorrect.

The first two digits in Pxxxxxx are the number of finish passes. I'm not sure if zero is valid for that, but it probably doesn't affect the cycle.

The R in the same line is the finish allowance. It shouldn't be zero. That's probably the reason for the not retracting.

The Q in that line is the first pass DOC, I'd say you've missed a zero on the end of it. Again, shouldn't stop the cycle from working properly though.
 
It worked fine this morning after turning the machine off and on again. I guess that old trick really does work sometimes.
