Programming example: Machining slots 
By using this program, you can machine four slots of the length 30 mm and the relative depth 23 mm (difference between 
the reference plane and the slot root), which are arranged on a circle with the center point Y40 Z45 and the radius 20 mm in 
the YZ plane. The starting angle is 45 degrees, the incremental angle is 90 degrees. The maximum infeed depth is 6 mm, 
the safety clearance 1 mm.
