8.3 Cycles for Drilling, Tapping and Thread Milling
U Workpiece surface coordinate Q203 (absolute
value): Coordinate of the workpiece surface
U 2nd set-up clearance Q204 (incremental value):
Coordinate in the tool axis at which no collision
between tool and workpiece (clamping devices) can
occur.
U Feed rate for counterboring Q254: Traversing
speed of the tool during counterboring in mm/min
U Feed rate for milling Q207: Traversing speed of the
tool in mm/min while milling.
