Z = Final depth of the hole
F = Feed rate
R = Reference plane
Q = Incremental Z-axis cut depth per pass
I = X-axis cut increment

The shape of the pocket to be cut must be defined by a series of motions within a subprogram. One of either I
or J must be specified. If I is used, the pocket is cut from a series of strokes in the X-axis. If J is used, the
pocket is cut from a series of strokes in the Y-axis. The value entered with the I or J will be the shift amount or
cutter overlap. The K amount is the finishing allowance for the walls of the pocket.
