Parameter Description Unit
Solid machining
(for roughing only)
● Complete machining
The rectangular pocket is milled from the solid material.
● Post machining
A rectangular pocket or hole has already been machined in the workpiece. This needs
to be enlarged in one or several axes. You must program parameters AZ, W1 and
L1 for this purpose.
AZ Depth of premachining – (for remachining only) mm
W1 Width of premachining – (for remachining only) mm
L1 Length of premachining – (for remachining only) mm
FS Chamfer width for chamfering - (for chamfering only) mm
ZFS Insertion depth of tool tip (abs or inc) – (for chamfer only) mm
* Unit of feedrate as programmed before the cycle call

Parameter Description
Machining The following machining operations can be selected:
● ∇ (roughing)
● ∇∇∇ (finishing)
● ∇∇∇ edge (edge finishing)
● Chamfering
