Feed rate
With turning, feed rates are often specified in millimeters per
revolution. The TNC moves the tool according to a defined value for
each spindle revolution. The resulting contouring feed rate is thus
dependent on the speed of the turning spindle. With high speeds
the TNC increases the feed rate and with low speeds reduces
the feed rate. With uniform cutting depth you can machine with
constant cutting force to achieve a constant cut thickness.
The programmed feed rate on a TNC is by default always
interpreted in millimeters per minute (mm/min). If you wish to
define feed rate in millimeters per revolution (mm/rev.), you must
program
M136. The TNC then interprets all subsequent feed rate
specifications in mm/rev. until M136 is canceled.
M136 is effective modally at the beginning of the block and can be
canceled with
M137.

Tool call
Just as in Milling mode, turning tools are called with the TOOL
CALL function. You merely have to enter the tool number or tool
name in the
TOOL CALL block.
You can call and insert a turning tool both in Milling
mode and in Turning mode.
