G71 – Roughing Turning Cycle
Syntax:
G71 U__ R__ ;
G71 P__ Q__ U__ W__ F__ S__ ;

U = depth of cut, radial (mm)

R = retract height, radial (mm)
P = block number start
Q = block number end
U = finishing allowance in x-axis (mm)
W = finishing allowance in Z- axis (mm)
F = federate (mm/min or mm/rev)
S = spindle speed (rev or m/min)

Activity 2
Instructions:
1. Design a workpiece with at least 8 points.
2. Generate a program that will utilize the G71 and G70 turning
cyles.
3. Specify the material length, diameter, and cutting tool used.
