3.6  Simple stock removal of workpiece 
Some blanks have a smooth or even surface. For example, you can use the stock removal 
cycle to turn the face surface of the workpiece before machining actually takes place.   
If you want to bore out a collet using the stock removal cycle, you can program an undercut 
(XF2) in the corner. 
 
CAUTION 
 
Risk of collision 
The tool moves along a direct path to the starting point of the stock removal. First move the 
tool to a safe position in order to avoid collisions during the approach. 
 
Retraction plane / safety clearance 
The retraction plane and safety clearance are set via the machine data 
$SCS_MAJOG_SAFETY_CLEARANCE or $SCS_MAJOG_RELEASE_PLANE. 
 
 
Machine manufacturer 
Please refer to the machine manufacturer's specifications. 
Direction of spindle rotation 
If the "ShopMill/ShopTurn" option is activated, the direction of spindle rotation is taken from 
the tool parameters entered in the tool list. 
If the "ShopMill/ShopTurn" option is not set, select the direction of spindle rotation in the 
input screen. 
 
 
Note 
You cannot use the "Repos" function during simple stock removal. 
 
Requirement 
To carry out simple stock removal of a workpiece in manual mode, a measured tool must be
