Milling depth
Q1 (incremental value): Distance
between the cylindrical surface and the floor of the 
contour.
8
Finishing allowance for side
Q3 (incremental
value): Finishing allowance in the plane of the unrolled 
cylindrical surface. This allowance is effective in the 
direction of the radius compensation.
8
Set-up clearance
Q6 (incremental value): Distance
between the tool tip and the cylinder surface.
8
Plunging depth
Q10 (incremental value): Dimension
by which the tool plunges in each infeed.
8
Feed rate for plunging
Q11: Traversing speed of the
tool in the tool axis.
8
Feed rate for milling
Q12: Traversing speed of the
tool in the working plane.
8
Cylinder radius
Q16: Radius of the cylinder on which
the contour is to be machined.
8
Dimension type ? ang./lin.
Q17: The dimensions for
the rotary axis of the subprogram are given either in 
degrees (0) or in mm/inches (1).
8
Slot width
Q20: Width of the slot to be machined.
8
Tolerance?
Q21: If you use a tool smaller than the
programmed slot width Q20, process-related 
distortion occurs on the slot wall wherever the slot 
follows the path of an arc or oblique line. If you define 
the tolerance Q21, the TNC adds a subsequent 
milling operation to ensure that the slot dimensions 
are a close as possible to those of a slot that has been 
milled with a tool exactly as wide as the slot. With 
Q21 you define the permitted deviation from this 
ideal slot. The number of subsequent milling 
operations depends on the cylinder radius, the tool 
used, and the slot depth. The smaller the tolerance is 
defined, the more exact the slot is and the longer the 
remachining takes. 
Recommendation: Use a tolerance of 0.02 mm.
