    Adding Custom Drill Cycle to MCX6

    I am wanting to add a custom drill cycle to MCX6 to use a deburr tool (this one - Power Deburring Tools | MSCDirect.com) at the top and bottom of the hole. The pilot length is 0.680". The length from the tip to the back of the blade is 1.000". The code to run the tool looks basically like:

    G01 Z-0.68 F10.
    G04 P0500
    G01 Z-1.125
    G01 Z-1.
    G04 P0500

    I have edited the post processor at the Post Text for:
    [CTRL_MILL|GENERIC HAAS 3X MILL TEST]

    [drill cycle 9]
    1. "Deburr - Special Cycle"
    7. ""
    8. ""
    9. ""
    10. ""
    11. ""
    [drill cycle descriptions]
    9. "Deburr - Special Cycle"

    So, now it shows up in my cut parameters as a cycle (see attachment). What I can't figure out is how to define the custom drill parameters in the post processor. Then I know I need to figure out how to apply those parameters in the post processor to output the code desired.

    Kind of busy with other things at the moment. No idea when I might can get back to this.
