THREAD MILLING/COUNTERSINKING 
(Cycle G263)
1
The TNC positions the tool in the tool axis at rapid traverse to the 
input set-up clearance above the workpiece surface.
Countersinking
2
The tool moves at the feed rate for pre-positioning to the 
countersinking depth minus the set-up clearance, and then at the 
feed rate for countersinking to the countersinking depth. 
3
If a safety clearance to the side has been entered, the TNC 
immediately positions the tool at the feed rate for pre-positioning 
to the countersinking depth.
4
Then, depending on the available space, the TNC makes a 
tangential approach to the core diameter, either tangentially from 
the center or with a pre-positioning move to the side, and follows 
a circular path.
Countersinking at front
5
The tool moves at the feed rate for pre-positioning to the sinking 
depth at front. 
6
The TNC positions the tool without compensation from the center 
on a semicircle to the offset at front, and then follows a circular 
path at the feed rate for countersinking.
7
The tool then moves in a semicircle to the hole center.
