SC The safety clearance defines how close the tool can approach the workpiece in
rapid traverse.
Enter the safety clearance without sign into the incremental dimension.
S Spindle speed (maximum main spindle speed)
If you want to machine the workpiece with a constant cutting rate, the spindle
speed must be increased as soon as the workpiece diameter becomes smaller.
Since the speed cannot be increased at will, you can set a speed limit for the main
spindle (S1) and for the counter-spindle (S3), depending on the shape, size, and
material of the workpiece or collet.
The machine manufacturer only sets one speed limit for the machine, i.e. none
that are dependent on the workpiece.
Please refer to the machine manufacturer's specifications.
