Programming Peck Drilling Cycles with G-Code

When we wish to peck drill on a CNC machine we have a few options available to us depending on our needs.
This lesson from The G-Code Tutor explains how to program a peck drilling cycle using the G83 G-code and when to use G73 instead and also how to program a variable peck amount to give us more control over the cycle.

Great breakdown this really helps out today drilling my first holes

[@user-ui4yx2kq1d]

❤thanks for your full details

[@johnjoseph3754]

Clear explanation. Might you explain the Offset Operation step by step specifically on FANUC 21 TURNING.

I tried G91 but then R need to be more than hole depth. Pls clarify.

How do you determine the q value?

[@Rossco139]

You really need to take into account several factors, including hole size, depth, material, etc. Lots of times when drilling with a hss twist drill, the only reason to retract is to get coolant onto the drill point in order to prevent overheating. Especially in materials like stainless steel. A very safe starting point for your Q could be something like .15 x Diameter. When using IJK values in your G83, you can go 1, 2, or even 3x diameter for your first peck, provided you are confident that the tool will hold up to it, and you have good chip formation/evacuation.
