Hey guys. I'm looking in my programming manual, for my Bridgeport Explorer mill with DX32 control, and for the G83 peck drilling cycle, it mentioned that the operator needs to set the amount of peck clearance, or something along those lines. And that the procedure for that could be found in the Operators manual. Well, I looked in there and can't find anything. I'm assuming the peck clearance, would be the amount the drill stays away from the previous feed depth, after a rapid move. Example, if I have .100" pecks programmed in and the drill drilled down the first .100" and then rapids up to the clearance point and then rapids back down into the hole, does it rapid right to .100", or stay like .010" above that, so it would rapid to .090" and then drill to .200" and then rapid to the clearance point and then rapid to .190" and then feed to .300"? I want to know where I would go to set that peck clearance amount. Say I want to adjust that peck clearance amount to like .010" or .020" because truthfully I think its rapiding right to the last fed Z depth and I don't really like that. The Fanuc controlled mills at work rapid down in the hole .010" above the last fed Z amount for safety reasons and I would like the same. Hoping someone can help me.....
