Face milling
Select milling
Select the "Face milling" cycle
Depending on the parameters, the cycle mills the following contours
on the face.
One or two surfaces (Q=1 or Q=2, B>0)
Rectangle (Q=4, L<>B)
Square (Q=4, L=B)
Triangle or polygon (Q=3 oder Q>4, L<>0)
Circle (Q=0, RE>0, L and B: No input)
Cycle parameters (first input window)
X, Z
Starting point
C
Spindle angle (C-axis position)
X1
Diameter of figure center
C1
Angle of figure center (default: spindle angle C)
Z1
Milling top edge (default: starting point Z)
Z2
Milling floor
Q
Number of edges
Q=0: Circle
Q=1: One surface
Q=2: Two surfaces offset by 180°
Q=3: Triangle
Q=4: Rectangle, square
Q>4: Polygon
L
Edge length
Rectangle: Rectangle length
Square, polygon: Edge length
Polygon: L<0: Inscribed circle diameter
Circle: No input
B
Width across flats:
For Q=1, Q=2: Remaining thickness (remaining
material)
Rectangle: Rectangle width
Square, polygon (Q>=4): Width across flats (use only for
even number of surfaces; program "B" as an alternative
to "L")
Circle: No input
