Rectangular Milling Functions
MILLPWR offers several rectangular milling functions that let you program pockets,
frames, faces and slots quickly and easily.
Pocket
A pocket is a cavity or area on a part where
material is removed when you machine. You can
program a rectangular pocket two ways:
• Using the coordinates of two diagonal corners.
• Using the coordinates of one corner and the size
of the pocket.
To program a rectangular pocket:
• Press the RECT key.
• Press the POCKET softkey.
• Enter the X- and Y-axes coordinates for the pocket's
1
ST corner.
• Now enter either the size of the pocket or the
coordinates for the 2
ND corner.
Size
Enter the length of the pocket along the X- and Y-axes.
2 ND Corner
Enter the X- and Y-axes coordinates for the 2 ND
corner. (The 2 ND corner must be located diagonally
from the 1 ST corner.)
