Work offset question

During a test run I found that G81/82 etc have a possible bug in them, they totally ignore any value in the Z work offset.

I had put +25mm in the Z work offset to make sure my tools were clear of the job and the canned cycles drilled to the original zero position, everything else was 25mm above.

I removed the Z offset and ran the program without a hitch.

I am running a Triac PC servo using version 1.30 Denford software, is there a later version?

Is this a known fault or is it me doing something stupid.

Thanks
Graham

Hi Rasp...

This does ring a bell - I think there was a bug with the Z offxets in canned cycles. Unfortunatley v1.30 was the latest version so I can't offer any help (other than to say 'be careful' !)
