I use G85 cycle for rough turning with a finish pass using two different tools all the time. But if you have a threaded feature with relief behind threads for an o-ring, I don’t want my DNMG tool to gouge that since it doesn’t have the needed relief for a 45 deg chamfer on the back of the threads. The finish tool is a VNMG which has no problem doing that.
What is the appropriate way to program it for the roughing tool to pass over that feature and just leave it for the finishing tool? Is it as simple as defining another NLAP, such as NLAP1 and running a G87,G81? I couldn’t get it to work.
Control is OSP5020L
I use
G85 NLAP
G87 NLAP
Then
NLAP G81
I haven’t ever described a separate roughing profile. It’s probably more simple than I’m making it. But I haven’t figured it out.
Thank you in advance.
