Overlapping contours
Pockets and islands can be overlapped to form a new contour. The area of
a pocket can thus be enlarged by another pocket or reduced by an island.
Starting position
Machining begins at the starting position of the first pocket in cycle G37
CONTOUR GEOMETRY. The starting position should be located as far as
possible from the overlapping contours.
Example: Overlapping pockets
Machining begins with the first contour label defined in block 6. The first
pocket must begin outside the second pocket.
