Please note while programming:
With an inactive tool table you must always plunge 
vertically (Q366=0) because you cannot define a plunging 
angle.
Pre-position the tool in the machining plane to the starting 
position (circle center) with radius compensation R0.
The TNC runs the cycle in the axes (machining plane) with 
which you approached the starting position. For example, 
in X and Y if you programmed CYCL CALL POS X... Y... or 
in U and V if you programmed CYCL CALL POS U... V...
The TNC automatically pre-positions the tool in the tool 
axis. Note parameter Q204 (2nd set-up 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 of a roughing operation, the TNC positions the 
tool back to the pocket center at rapid traverse. The tool is 
above the current pecking depth by the set-up clearance. 
Enter the set-up clearance so that the tool cannot jam 
because of chips.
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 set-up clearance below the workpiece surface!
If you call the cycle with machining operation 2 (only 
finishing), then the TNC positions the tool in the center of 
the pocket at rapid traverse to the first plunging depth.
