Simple Arc R Calculation function:
One who is not quite at home in the concepts of plane coordinates will
feel difficult in using smooth arc function. If the arc to be processed is simple
enough, and the required smoothness is average, the simple arc R function
may be a good choice.
In general, the processing of a circular arc will be realized in one of the
eight ways shown below, using end mill or circular arc mill.
*The operation procedure of the simple arc R function.
Let the tool face just at the arc, and key , enter arc R Calculating
function. As to how to let the tool face just at the start point, just refer to (1) in
page 30.
