Hey guys I have a peculiar problem that I can't sort out. I wrote a program to mill and thread mill two holes. It works fine, but every time I run the program through all the way to M30 at the end, all of my coordinates shift to the negative X direction. None of my offsets are changing, as I'm just using machine zero. If I run the program through the first tool only, it won't step over.

A few things to note: this is my first time programming thread milling. Any advice on how to do it better would be appreciated. Also, the G53 acrobatics is to position for clearance during tool changes.

Thanks in advance. Here's the code:

Never mind that last post. The problem wasn't programming related.

I don't do mills, but I am a curious type guy. What was your problem? Not that it will ever be of help to me, but maybe someone else would benefit from knowing the cause.
