Plunging behavior (default: 0)
O=0 (vertical plunge): The cycle moves the tool to the starting 
point; the tool plunges at the feed rate for infeed and mills the 
pocket.
O=1 (plunge at pre-drilled position):
If "NF" is programmed: The cycle positions the milling cutter 
above the first pre-drilled hole; the tool plunges and mills the 
first area. If applicable, the cycle positions the tool to the 
next pre-drilled hole and mills the next area, etc.
If "NF" is not programmed: The tool plunges at the current 
position and mills the area. If applicable, position the tool to 
the next pre-drilled hole and mill the next area, etc.
O=2, 3 (helical plunge): The tool plunges at the angle "W" and 
mills full circles with the diameter "WB." As soon as it reaches 
the milling depth "P," the cycle switches to face milling.
O=2—manually: The cycle plunges at the current position 
and machines the area that can be reached from this 
position.
O=3—automatically: The cycle calculates the plunging 
position, plunges and machines this area. The plunging 
motion ends at the starting point of the first milling path, if 
possible. If the pocket consists of multiple areas, the cycle 
successively machines all the areas.
O=4, 5 (reciprocating linear plunge): The tool plunges at the 
angle "W" and mills a linear path of the length "WB." You can 
define the orientation angle in "WE." 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.
O=4—manually: The cycle plunges at the current position 
and machines the area that can be reached from this 
position.
O=5—automatically: The cycle calculates the plunging 
position, plunges and machines this area. The plunging 
motion ends at the starting point of the first milling path, if 
possible. If the pocket consists of multiple areas, the cycle 
successively machines all the areas. The plunging position is 
determined from the type of figure and from "Q" as follows:
Q0 (from the inside toward the outside):
– Linear slot, rectangle, polygon: Reference point of the 
figure
– Circle: Circle center
– Circular slot, "free" contour: Starting point of the 
innermost milling path
Q1 (from the outside toward the inside):
– Linear slot: Starting point of the slot
– Circular slot, circle: Not machined
– Rectangle, polygon: Starting point of the first linear 
element
– "Free" contour: Starting point of the first linear element 
(at least one linear element must exist)
