Circumferential groove (SLOT2)
Function
You can mill one or several circumferential slots of equal size on a full or pitch circle with the
"circumferential slot" cycle.
Please note that there is a minimum size for the milling cutter used to machine the
circumferential slot:
● Roughing:
1⁄2 groove width W – finishing allowance UXY ≤ milling cutter diameter
● Finishing:
1⁄2 groove width W ≤ milling cutter diameter
● Edge finishing:
Finishing allowance UXY ≤ milling cutter diameter
To create an annular groove, you must enter the following values for the "Number N" and
"Aperture angle α1" parameters:
N = 1
α1 = 360°
