2 Canned Cy
cles
When you enter a value, the CNC executes the number of passes
required to get from the H (StartHgt) to the Z (ZDepth), cutting the
B (DepthCut) on each pass.
When you enter an S (FinStock) value, the CNC leaves the specified
stock on the profile and depth for a finish pass. The CNC cuts the
rectangle to the M (Length), W (Width), and Z (ZDepth) dimensions
on the finish pass. Enter a negative S (FinStock) to leave the finish
stock without making a finish pass.
When you do not enter a J (RoughFeed) or K (FinFeed), the CNC
executes feed moves at the current feedrate. J (RoughFeed)
controls the feedrate of the roughing cycle. K (FinFeed) controls the
feedrate of the finishing cycle.
