(Cycle 861)
Application
This cycle enables you to radially cut in right-angled slots.
You can use the cycle either for roughing, finishing or complete 
machining. Turning is run paraxially with roughing. 
The cycle can be used for inside and outside machining. If the tool is 
outside the contour to be machined when the cycle is called, the cycle 
runs outside machining. If the tool is inside the contour to be 
machined, the cycle runs inside machining.
Roughing cycle run
The cycle processes only the area from the cycle starting point to the 
end point defined in the cycle.
1
The TNC runs a paraxial infeed motion at rapid traverse (lateral 
infeed = 0.8 tool edge width).
2
The TNC machines the area between the starting position and end 
point in axial direction at the defined feed rate Q478.
3
The TNC positions the tool back at rapid traverse to the beginning 
of cut.
4
The TNC repeats this process (1 to 3) until the slot width is 
reached.
5
The TNC positions the tool back at rapid traverse to the cycle 
starting point.
