Please note while programming:
Pre-position the tool in the machining plane to the starting 
position (stud center) with radius compensation R0.
The TNC automatically pre-positions the tool in the tool 
axis. Note Parameter Q204 (2nd setup clearance).
The algebraic sign for the cycle parameter DEPTH 
determines the working direction. If you program 
DEPTH = 0, the cycle will not be executed.
At the end of the cycle, the TNC returns the tool to the 
starting position.
At the end, the TNC positions the tool back to the setup 
clearance, or to the 2nd setup clearance if one was 
programmed.
Danger of collision!
Enter in MP7441 bit 2 whether the TNC should output an 
error message (bit 2=1) or not (bit 2=0) if a positive depth 
is entered.
Keep in mind that the TNC reverses the calculation for pre-
positioning when a positive depth is entered. This 
means that the tool moves at rapid traverse in the tool axis 
to setup clearance below the workpiece surface!
Leave enough room next to the stud for the approach 
motion. Minimum: tool diameter + 2 mm
