Please note while programming:
Machine and TNC must be specially prepared by the 
machine tool builder for use of this cycle.
This cycle is effective only for machines with servo-
controlled spindle.
Program a positioning block for the starting point (hole 
center) in the working plane with radius compensation R0.
The algebraic sign for the total hole depth parameter 
determines the working direction.
The TNC calculates the feed rate from the spindle speed. 
If the feed-rate override is used during tapping, the TNC 
automatically adjusts the feed rate.
The feed-rate override knob is disabled.
At the end of the cycle the spindle comes to a stop. Before 
the next operation, restart the spindle with M3 (or M4).
Danger of collision!
Use the machine parameter displayDepthErr to define 
whether, if a positive depth is entered, the TNC should 
output an error message (on) or not (off).
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!
