REAMING (Cycle 21)
Process
Same as Cycle 1, Pecking; see “Cycles for Drilling, Tapping and Thread
Milling,” page 209.
Application
Cycle 21 is for PILOT DRILLING of the cutter infeed points. It accounts
for the allowance for side and the allowance for floor as well as the
radius of the rough-out tool. The cutter infeed points also serve as
starting points for roughing.

When calculating the infeed points, the TNC does not
account for the delta value DR programmed in a TOOL
CALL block.
In narrow areas, the TNC may not be able to carry out pilot
drilling with a tool that is larger than the rough-out tool.
