r the Y axis
For the cutting direction, machining direction and direction of tool 
rotation, please refer to table G845 in the User's Manual.
O=6, 7 (reciprocating circular plunge): The tool plunges at 
the plunging angle "W" and mills a circular arc of 90°. The cycle 
then mills along this path in the opposite direction. As soon as 
it reaches the milling depth "P," the cycle switches to face 
milling. "WE" defines the arc center, "WB" the arc radius.
O=6—manually: The tool position corresponds to the center 
of the circular arc. The tool moves to the arc starting point 
and plunges.
O=7—automatically (only permitted for circular slots and 
circles): The cycle calculates the plunging position on the 
basis of "Q":
Q0 (from the inside toward the outside):
– Circular slot: The circular arc lies on the curvature radius 
of the slot
– Circle: Not permitted
Q1 (from the outside toward the inside): Circular slot, 
circle: The circular arc lies on the outermost milling path
W
Plunging angle in infeed direction
WE
Orientation angle of the milling path/circular arc. Reference 
axis:
Front or rear face: Positive XK axis
Lateral surface: Positive Z axis
Default orientation angle, depending on "O":
O=4: WE= 0°
O=5 and
Linear slot, rectangle, polygon: WE= position angle of the 
figure
Circular slot, circle: WE=0°
"Free" contour and Q0 (from the inside toward the 
outside): WE=0°
"Free" contour and Q1 (from the outside toward the 
inside): Orientation angle of the starting element
WB
Plunge length/plunge diameter (default: 1.5 * milling diameter)
For the machining direction Q=1 (from the outside toward 
the inside), please note:
The contour must start with a linear element.
If the starting element is < WB, WB is reduced to the 
length of the starting element.
The length of the starting element must not be less than 
1.5 times the diameter of the milling cutter.
