4.8 Milling cycles
In Teach-in mode these cycles include the activation/deactivation of
the C axis and the positioning of the spindle.
In Manual mode you can activate the C axis with Rapid traverse
positioning
and position the spindle before the actual milling cycle.
The milling cycles then automatically deactivate the C axis.
