Haas CNC G71 Bolt Hole Arc Command – Practical Example for Efficient Hole Drilling

CNC program example code for the G71 Bolt Hole Arc command.

G71 bolt hole arc command makes it easy to drill/tap/bore evenly spaced holes in an arc.

Canned cycles G73, G74, G76, G77, or G81-G89 can be used with G71 bolt hole arc G-code.

G71 Bolt Hole Arc Format

G71 I J K L
I – Radius of the bolt hole arc
J – Starting angle of first hole ( 0 to 360° CCW from horizontal at the 3 o’clock position).
K – Angular spacing between holes (+ or -)
L – Number of evenly spaced holes around bolt hole arc.
