• PITCH—defines the distance between threads for metric tools. Do not use
this field for programming tools measured in threads per inch.
• LEAD (TPI)—defines the threads per inch for tools measured in inches. Do
not use this field for programming metric tools.
• X TAPER (DIA) or (RAD)—defines the amount of taper in the X axis. When
you enter a value in this field, the control calculates the value for the Taper
Angle.
• TAPER ANGLE—defines the angle of the taper. When you enter a value in
this field, the control calculates the value for the X Taper field.
• VERTICAL LEAD IN—defines whether the tool should enter the part
vertically (perpendicular) to the direction of the cut. Select YES or NO. NO is
the default. When YES is selected, the LEAD IN ANGLE field is inactive.
• LEAD IN ANGLE—defines the infeed angle that the tool follows in the X axis
to enter the workpiece. This angle is shown as 1 in the following figure; the
tool path is represented with a dotted line.
• VERTICAL LEAD OUT—defines whether the tool should exit the part
vertically (perpendicular) to the direction of the cut. Select YES or NO. NO is
the default. When YES is selected, the LEAD OUT ANGLE field is inactive.
• LEAD OUT ANGLE—defines the pullout angle that the tool follows in the X
axis to exit the workpiece. This angle is shown as 2 in the following figure;
the tool path is represented with a dotted line.

• SPECIFY START ANGLE—select YES or NO to indicate whether a start angle
is required. When NO is selected, the START ANGLE field is inactive.
• START ANGLE—defines the Start Angle if YES is selected for SPECIFY START
ANGLE. The default is 0°.
• NUMBER OF STARTS—defines the number of starts if multiple starts are
required and NO is selected for SPECIFY START ANGLE.
