Programming
G17 G81 X... Y... Z... R... F.. L... G18 G81 Z... X... Y... R... F... L... G19 G81 Y... Z... X... R... F... L..
Parameters
Following table X,Y,Z definitions will work for G17 Plane, for other planes these will change as for
G18 plane Z X will be hole position and Y will be drilling axis
G19 plane Y Z will be hole position and X will be drilling axis
| 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. |
| L | Number of cycle repetitions (if required) . |
| F | Feedrate. |
Operations
The operations of the G81 cycle are
- Rapid-traverse positioning in the selected plane
- Rapid-traverse movement as far as point R
- Drilling as far as the point Z, with feed F
- Retraction
- If G99, retraction to point R, in rapid traverse
- If G98, rapid-traverse retraction to the initial point
Programming Examples

Programming Bore Series Example
The second series of bores is programmed as a new drilling cycle, where size is again to be specified in increment. Since both cycles would include the middle bore, the second series must be split into lower and upper part.
