RTP  REAL  Retraction plane (absolute) 
RFP  REAL  Reference plane (absolute) 
SDIS  REAL  Safety clearance (enter without sign) 
DP  REAL  Slot depth (absolute) 
DPR  REAL  Slot depth relative to the reference plane (enter without sign) 
NUM  INT  Number of slots 
AFSL  REAL  Angle for the slot length (enter without sign) 
WID  REAL  Circumferential slot width (enter without sign) 
CPA  REAL  Center point of circle (absolute), first axis of the plane 
CPO  REAL  Center point of circle (absolute), second axis of the plane 
RAD  REAL  Radius of the circle (enter without sign) 
STA1  REAL  Starting angle 
INDA  REAL  Incrementing angle 
FFD  REAL  Feedrate for depth infeed 
FFP1  REAL  Feedrate for surface machining 
MID  REAL  Maximum infeed depth for one infeed (enter without sign) 
CDIR  INT  Milling direction for machining the circumferential slot 
Values: 2 (for G2), 3 (for G3) 
FAL  REAL  Finishing allowance at the slot edge (enter without sign) 
VARI  INT  Machining type 
Values: 0 = complete machining, 1 = roughing, 2 = finishing 
MIDF  REAL  Maximum infeed depth for finishing 
FFP2  REAL  Feedrate for finishing 
SSF  REAL  Speed when finishing 
FFCP  REAL  Feedrate for intermediate positioning on a circular path, in mm/min 
 
The cycle requires a milling cutter with an "end tooth cutting across center" (DIN844). 
The cycle SLOT2 is a combined roughing-finishing cycle. 
Use this cycle to machine circumferential slots arranged on a circle.
