THREAD DRILLING/MILLING (Cycle G264)
1
The TNC positions the tool in the tool axis at rapid traverse to the 
input set-up clearance above the workpiece surface.
Drilling
2
The tool drills to the first plunging depth at the programmed feed 
rate for plunging.
3
If you have programmed chip breaking, the tool then retracts by 
the entered retraction value. If you are working without chip 
breaking, the tool is moved at rapid traverse to set-up clearance 
and then at rapid traverse to the entered starting position above 
the first plunging depth.
4
The tool then advances with another infeed at the programmed 
feed rate.
5
The TNC repeats this process (2 to 4) until the programmed total 
hole depth is reached.
Countersinking at front
6
The tool moves at the feed rate for pre-positioning to the sinking 
depth at front. 
7
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.
8
The tool then moves in a semicircle to the hole center.
