Lathe Thread retract to clearance plane is slow
I am cutting 8 tpi threads 1/2" long on 1" diameter bar. I believe that I have all the parameters that I am able to configure set correctly. I am using the 'Generic FANUC Turning" post processor.
The G code that is generated has an incredibly slow retract to the clearance plane. A snippet of the g code is below:
N18 G97 S500 M3
N19 G0 X1.4 Z1.
N20 G1 X0.986 F10.
N21 G32 Z-0.5 F0.125
N22 X1.14 F0.125
N23 G0 X1.4
N24 Z1.
N25 G1 X0.9802 F10.
N26 G32 Z-0.5 F0.125
N27 X1.14 F0.125
N28 G0 X1.4
N29 Z1.
The red highlighted retracts are occurring at a feedrate of .125. I would be happy with the leadout feedrate of 10 in/min or the rapid feedrate. How do I adjust the retract speed?
