- Return point level G98/G99
When the tool reaches the bottom of a hole, the tool may be returned
to point R or to the initial level. These operations are specified with
G98 and G99. The following illustrates how the tool moves when
G98 or G99 is specified. Generally, G99 is used for the first drilling
operation and G98 is used for the last drilling operation.
The initial level does not change even when drilling is performed in
the G99 mode.

- Repeat
To repeat drilling for equally-spaced holes, specify the number of
repeats in K_.
K is effective only within the block where it is specified.
Specify the first hole position in incremental programming (G91).
If it is specified in absolute programming (G90), drilling is repeated at
the same position.
Number of repeats K The maximum command value = 9999
If K0 is specified, drilling data is stored, but drilling is not performed.
NOTE
For K, specify an integer of 0 or 1 to 9999.
- Cancel
To cancel a canned cycle, use G80 or a group 01 G code.
Group 01 G codes
G00 : Positioning (rapid traverse)
G01 : Linear interpolation
G02 : Circular interpolation or helical interpolation (CW)
G03 : Circular interpolation or helical interpolation (CCW)
