Circular pocket (POCKET4)
Function
You can use the "Circular pocket" cycle to mill circular pockets on the face or peripheral
surface.
The following machining variants are available:
● Mill circular pocket from solid material.
● Predrill circular pocket in the center first if, for example, the milling cutter does not cut in
the center (program the drilling, circular pocket and position program blocks in
succession).
For milling with the "Circular pocket" function two methods are available: the plane-by-plane
method and the helical method.
For ShopTurn, the "Clamp spindle" function can be set up by the machine manufacturer.
