3. Retraction to the retraction plane using G0 and approach to the next elongated hole on the
shortest path.
4. After the last elongated hole has been machined, the tool at the position reached last in
the machining plane is moved with G0 to the retraction plane, and the cycle terminated.
Procedure
1. The part program or ShopMill program to be processed has been created
and you are in the editor.
2. Press the "Milling" softkey.
3. Press the "Groove" and "Elongated hole" softkeys.
The "Elongated Hole" input window opens.

Machining type
● Plane-by-plane
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.
● Oscillating
Insert with oscillation along center axis of longitudinal slot:
The cutter center point oscillates along a linear path until it reaches the depth infeed.
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).
