CIRCULAR STUD FINISHING (Cycle G215)
1
The TNC automatically moves the tool in the tool axis to set-up 
clearance, or—if programmed—to the 2nd set-up clearance, and 
subsequently to the center of the stud.
2
From the stud center, the tool moves in the working plane to the 
starting point for machining. The starting point lies to the right of 
the stud by a distance approx. 3.5 times the tool radius.
3
If the tool is at the 2nd set-up clearance, it moves in rapid traverse 
to set-up clearance, and from there advances to the first plunging 
depth at the feed rate for plunging.
4
The tool then moves tangentially to the contour of the finished part 
and, using climb milling, machines one revolution.
5
The tool then departs the contour on a tangential path and returns 
to the starting point in the working plane.
6
This process (3 to 5) is repeated until the programmed depth is 
reached.
7
At the end of the cycle, the TNC retracts the tool at rapid traverse 
to the set-up clearance, or—if programmed—to the 2nd set-up 
clearance, and finally to the center of the pocket (end position = 
starting position).

Before programming, note the following:
The TNC automatically pre-positions the tool in the tool 
axis and working plane.
The algebraic sign for the cycle parameter DEPTH 
determines the working direction. If you program DEPTH 
= 0, the cycle will not be executed.
If you want to clear and finish the stud with the same tool, 
use a center-cut end mill (ISO 1641) and enter a low feed 
rate for plunging.
