It will run Type I programs, G73 just fine. As long as my X starts at smallest diameter and moves up to the larger diamater (monotonic) it is great and makes the appropriates passes per the cycle.
But when I type in a 'type ii' program where both my X and Z are after the G73 lines, for example
G00 X.nnn Z.nnn
G73 U.. W.. R..
G73 P5 Q.. U.. W.. F..
N5 G01 X.nnn Z.nnn
My machine gives me the error
065 Illegal Command in G71-G73
Please help!
