N1235 (The ‘Q’ specifies the end of the pocket)
This program will clear a pocket that looks like this.
The Cut Width is the distance between 1 pass and the next.
The Finish stock is not removed with a final pass. To remove the stock another mill cycle needs
to be programmed. The Finish Stock is not an option if the cutter comp is off.
Note 1 : The ‘I’ value requires that cutter comp is on.
If cutter comp is on in the wrong direction (outside instead of inside) a bigger pocket will be
cleared.
Note 2 : If the end point is not the same as the start point a line will be added from the end point
to the start point.
Note 3 : Feedrates and spindle speeds in the pocket geometry are ignored during the clearing
cycle.
Note 4 : If path has geometry that crosses other geometry the cycle does it’s best to clear the
pocket, but will more then likely not do a satisfactory job.
Note 5 : The cycle may require that holes are drilled at the plunge points. This would require
that the plunge points be observed and added to a drill cycle.
