Pocket
A pocket is a cavity or area on your part where material
is removed when you machine. You can program a rec-
tangular pocket two ways:
• Using the coordinates of two diagonal corners.
• Using the coordinates of one corner and the size of
the pocket.
To program a rectangular pocket:
• Press the RECT key.
• Press the POCKET softkey.
• Enter the X- and Y-axes coordinates for the pocket's 1 ST Corner.
• Now enter either the size of the pocket or the coordinates for the
2
ND Corner.
Size
Enter the length of the pocket along the X- and Y-axes.
2 ND Corner
Enter the X- and Y-axes coordinates for the 2 ND Corner.
(The 2 ND Corner must be located diagonally from the 1 ST
Corner.)
Rectangular Milling Functions
MILLPWR offers several rectangular milling functions that let you program pockets,
