Properties of the subcontours
 By default, the TNC assumes that the contour is a pocket. Do not
program a radius compensation. In the contour formula you can
convert a pocket to an island by making it negative.
 The TNC ignores feed rates F and miscellaneous functions M.
 Coordinate transformations are allowed. If they are programmed
within the subcontour they are also effective in the following
subprograms, but they need not be reset after the cycle call.
 Although the subprograms can contain coordinates in the spindle
axis, such coordinates are ignored.
 The working plane is defined in the first coordinate block of the
subprogram. The secondary axes U,V,W are permitted.
Characteristics of the fixed cycles
 The TNC automatically positions the tool to the set-up clearance
before a cycle.
 Each level of infeed depth is milled without interruptions since the
cutter traverses around islands instead of over them.
 The radius of "inside corners" can be programmed—the tool keeps
moving to prevent surface blemishes at inside corners (this applies
to the outermost pass in the Rough-out and Side Finishing cycles).
 The contour is approached on a tangential arc for side finishing.
 For floor finishing, the tool again approaches the workpiece on a
tangential arc (for spindle axis Z, for example, the arc may be in the
Z/X plane).
 The contour is machined throughout in either climb or up-cut milling.
The machining data (such as milling depth, finishing allowance and
set-up clearance) are entered as CONTOUR DATA in Cycle 20.

With Machine Parameter 7420 you can determine where
the tool is positioned at the end of Cycles 21 to 24.
