.
long drills i have seen simple G1 with feed rate like F3.0
.
common to have drill over 18" long vibrating and to have it enter a previously drilled hole 6" deep turning 50 rpm and F10. feed
.
once 0.1" above previous drilled hole then another M3 S300 given to change rpm and another G1 with F rate to drill hole
.
then another M3 S50 and G1 F10, to pull out of hole slow. long drill out of hole will whip or wobble bad and can even break
 
hello DMF_TomB :) what you said means using G codes, and i can program this way

i wish to use cycles, so to "feed in-out " instead of rapid, during a cycle :) i asked because i don't know how to do this ... and maybe i will combine "G codes" + "slow feed cycle", and results will be better than what i do now :)

Yes, the simple answer is to write out the drilling cycles using G1 moves instead of canned cycles, where you can specify different "F" feedrates.

It is possible to write a custom G-Code macro (canned cycle) that allows for a custom feedrate during retract, but that would require someone to develop this.
