DXY Maximum plane infeed
Alternately, you can specify the plane infeed in %, as a ratio → plane infeed (mm) to the
milling cutter diameter (mm).

DZ Maximum depth infeed – (for roughing only) mm
UZ Finishing allowance, depth mm
Note
The same finishing allowance must be entered for both roughing and finishing. The finishing
allowance is used to position the tool for retraction.
