8.2.3  Groove (CYCLE930) 
Function 
You can use the "Groove" cycle to machine symmetrical and asymmetrical grooves on any 
straight contour elements.  
You have the option of machining outer or inner grooves, longitudinally or transversely 
(face). Use the "Groove width" and "Groove depth" parameters to determine the shape of the 
groove. If a groove is wider than the active tool, it is machined in several cuts. The tool is 
moved by a maximum of 80% of the tool width for each groove. 
You can specify a finishing allowance for the groove base and the flanks; roughing is then 
performed down to this point. 
The dwell time between recessing and retraction is stored in a setting data element.
