Machining type
•
The tool is inserted to infeed depth in the pocket center.
Note: This setting can be used only if the cutter can cut across center.
•
Insert with oscillation along center axis of longitudinal slot
The cutter center point oscillates along a linear path until it reaches the depth in-
feed. When the depth has been reached, the path is traversed again without depth
infeed in order to eliminate the inclined insertion path.

Machining posi-
tion
• Single position
An elongated hole is machined at the programmed position (X0, Y0, Z0).
• Position pattern
Several elongated holes are machined in the programmed position pattern (e.g.
pitch circle, grid, line).
X0
Y0
The positions refer to the reference point:
Reference point X – (for single position only)
Reference point Y – (for single position only)
