boring cycle

This G86 code word feeds a boring bar into the bottom of a hole, stops the spindle, and retracts. This cycle will leave a vertically witness mark since the boring bar drags out of the hole while against the bored service.

G86X0Y0R-.875Z-2.375F10G98

This line of code, turns on the spindle, rapids the boring bar to the XY coordinate, rapids to the R plane , bores to the Z level at feedrate F, turns off the spindle, and rapids out of the hole to the initial plane with G98.

Note: For clarity the spindle in the animation does not begin rotation until the R plane is reached.
