7 Define the workpiece material in the NC program with the WMAT soft key. 
The TOOL CALL block provides soft keys for automatic acceptance of various 
speeds (S1 to S4) and for the selection of the feed rate.
If you enter the spindle speed manually, this value is taken into account in the 
calculation of the feed rate. You cannot, however, enter F for calculation of S. 
If you enter the feed rate manually, the entered value applies until you program 
another feed rate. With the F AUTO soft key you can again activate the feed 
rate from the TOOL CALL block.
