SECTION THREE - CONVERSATIONAL INPUT SCREENS
The conversational screen for tool pierce start mill cycle with tapered walls option appears as
follows.
The following graphic illustrates the sample mill program using the tapered walls option on the
tool pierce start mill cycle.
0° is a vertical wall; 90° is impossible. The tapered wall also has an option for an end mill. Cutter
comp must be on to use the tapered walls option. The first Z depth should be the top of the wall.
The first pass is offset by the entire tool radius.
Note: See page 308, Section 5 for further information on tapered walls.
