G81 drilling cycle is used for simple drilling/spot drilling operations.

Syntax
G81 X... Y... Z... R... K... F...
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| X | Hole position in x-axis. |
| Y | Hole position in y-axis. |
| Z | Depth, tool will travel with feed to Z-depth starting from R plane. |
| R | Position of the R plane. |
| K | Number of cycle repetitions (if required) . |
| F | Feedrate. |
Once G81 drilling cycle is defined, the canned cycle is repeated at every X-Y position in sequential blocks. So G81 drilling cycle must be cancelled with G80.
Usage
N30 G81 X10 Y30 Z-17 R2 F75 N40 Y10 N50 X30 N60 Y30 N70 X90 N80 Y10 N90 G80
In the above example drilling will start with G81 drilling cycle at X10 Y30, so first drill will be at X10 Y30, then second at Y10, third at X30, fourth at Y30, fifth at X90 and the last one at Y10, because next block have G80 code, so drilling cycle will no more be repeated.
Working
Here is briefly described how G81 drilling cycle operates,
1- Rapid traverse to the specified x,y axis position (drilling position).
2- Rapid traverse to the R plane position.
3- Drilling with specified Feed from R-plane position to Z-depth position.
4- Rapid traverse to Initial level or R-plane depends on G98, G99 modes.
G81 drilling cycle working
G98 G99 Modes
After completing drilling depth the return is made with Rapid feed, the return height can be controlled through using G98 or G99.
G98 Drill will return to the Initial level
G99 Drill will return to R-plane.
G98, G99 can be used multiple times during G81 drilling cycle.
Example
N30 G81 X10 Y30 Z-17 R2 F75 N40 Y10 N50 G98 X30 N60 G99 Y30 N70 X90 N80 Y10 N90 G80
Repeat Drilling
With G81 drilling cycle drilling operation can be repeated multiple times. The drilling is repeated K times when that parameter is given with G81 drilling cycle.
Repeat drilling is normally used with G91 Incremental mode, and a good example of repeated drilling is Grid-plate drilling. the example for repeat drilling is given below.
