DRILLING
This mode is used for drilling with the tool holder. To do this, a drill bit must be centered in the
tool holder and clamped, i.e. it is NOT drilled with the quill as usual. Apart from the somewhat
time-consuming centering, this has many advantages, as in this mode it is possible to drill very
precisely and, by using the setting parameters in the parameter menu, to drill with dierent
retraction strategies.
Set the Z axis to 0, then enter the desired drilling depth ZP. The feed rate is given in mm/rev.
Pressing the START button starts the process, pressing the STOP button stops it, entries made
in XP are ignored, the X-axis does not move in this mode!
Available parameters in the parameter menu:
• Depth of cut - The infeed per pass in mm
• Retract depth - Either total retraction, where the hole is completely retracted from the drilled
hole after each infeed, or a discrete retraction width in mm, which is then used as a chip
breaking retraction only for a short distance.
• Idle Time - The waiting time in seconds after each retraction.
• Z Ap Finish - depth of last infeed (nishing pass) in mm
