Helical-slot milling G798
G798 mills a helical slot from the current tool position to the Final
point X, Z
. The slot width equals the diameter of the milling cutter.
Infeeds:
 Infeed I is used for the first infeed movement.
 The control calculates all subsequent infeed movements as follows:
Current infeed = I * (1 – (n–1) * E)
(n: nth infeed)
 The infeed movement is reduced down to >= 0.5 mm. Following
that, each infeed movement will amount to 0.5 mm.

Parameters
X
End point (diameter value) – (default: current X position)
Z Final point of slot
C Starting angle
F Thread pitch:
 F positive: Right-hand thread
 F negative: Left-hand thread
P Slop. length (run-in length)—ramp at the beginning of the slot
(default: 0)
K End. length (run-out length)—ramp at the end of the slot
(default: 0)
U Thread depth
I Maximum approach (default: total depth in one infeed)
E Reduction value for infeed reduction (default: 1)
D No. of gears (threads per unit)
You can mill a helical slot only from the outside.
