DIN/ISO: G265)
Cycle run
1
The TNC positions the tool in the spindle axis at rapid traverse FMAX 
to the entered set-up clearance above the workpiece surface.
Countersinking at front
2
If countersinking is before thread milling, the tool moves at the 
feed rate for countersinking to the sinking depth at front. If 
countersinking occurs after thread milling, the TNC moves the tool 
to the countersinking depth at the feed rate for pre-positioning.
3
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.
4
The tool then moves in a semicircle to the hole center.
Thread milling
5
The TNC moves the tool at the programmed feed rate for pre-
positioning to the starting plane for the thread.
6
The tool then approaches the thread diameter tangentially in a 
helical movement.
7
The tool moves on a continuous helical downward path until it 
reaches the thread depth.
8
After this, the tool departs the contour tangentially and returns to 
the starting point in the working plane.
9
At the end of the cycle, the TNC retracts the tool at rapid traverse 
to set-up clearance, or—if programmed—to the 2nd set-up 
clearance.
