SECTION THREE - CONVERSATIONAL INPUT SCREENS
The conversational screen for pocket clear option using tool pierce start mill cycle appears as
follows.
The following graphic is the top view of the sample mill program using the pocket clear 2 option
on the tool pierce start mill cycle.
Note: See page 316, section 5 for further information on pocket clear 2.
Note: This option can be used to clear away from a framed mill cycle as well. To use the finish
pass option, the original tool radius data for the roughing pass must be bigger than the actual
tool radius; if this is the case, use two passes with a negative pass width to attain the true tool
radius. This option is meant to clear away from the actual part and not to clear the entire pocket.
