Lathe Drill Feed Rate - Inch Per Rev

Trying to edit Fanuc turning post to output drill cycle feedrate as inch per rev.

There are multiple threads relating to this topic both here and on the HSM Post Processor Forum, none of which completely address the issue.  I have chosen to post here as both @seth.madore  and @HughesTooling have been involved in discussing this in the past on this forum.

By using @HughesTooling method of pulling "operation:tool_feedPerRevolution", feed gets altered to 0.0, so something isn't quite right when trying to apply to the Fanuc post.  However this does still seem to work for the Haas Turning post, but the Haas drill cycles are structured differently. 

If I try doing some math to the var I can force a numerical output but that is the current limit of my post editing knowledge.  Any help is appreciated.
