G86 Boring Cycle – Fanuc Mill Programming

G86 Boring Cycle

Fanuc G86 Boring Cycle is used to bore the hole(s).
The tool travels to the bottom of the hole with feed and then retracts back out of the hole at rapid feedrate.

G86 Boring Cycle Format

G86 X Y Z R F K

Parameters
X Y –  Hole position data.
Z – Boring depth (Absolute).
R – Tool starting position above the hole.
F – Cutting feed rate.
K – Number of repeats (if required).

G86 Boring Cycle Operation

1 – After positioning along the X– and Y–axes, rapid traverse is performed to point R.
2 – Drilling is performed from point R to point Z.
3 – When the spindle is stopped at the bottom of the hole, the tool is retracted in rapid traverse.

Tool Return Position
Return plane is dependant on G98, G99 G-codes.
If G98 is specified with G86 boring cycle the tool returns to Initial-level.
If G99 is specified then tool will return to R level.
