SECTION FIVE - MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS (M CODES)
The previous program makes this for a .1" radius tool:
To clear away from an island with the same shape, change the G41 to G42.
To make a finish pass, load the tool table with a tool radius bigger than the actual tool in use.
P163=2 Make 2 passes
P164=-.01 Correction to actual tool size/finish stock to clean up
Note: Pocket clearing is used to remove stock from a part. If too many passes are programmed,
the surface may be violated. It is best to use the M97 (pocket clear) to remove several
passes and then use other means to clear the remaining material.
Subprogram call (M98)
Subprogram terminate (M99)
The subprogram call command (M98) can be used to execute any program residing in memory
from another program. After the called program is executed, the control will then transfer back to
the calling program one block after the M98 command.
