Row of Holes
A row of holes, can be programmed
two ways:
• By entering the coordinates of the
first and last hole
• By entering the coordinates of the
first hole, the spacing between each
hole and the row’s angle
The “From” point refers to the center of the first hole, while the “To” point is the center
of the last hole. Any additional holes will be spaced equally between these two.
You’ll also be prompted for peck and tool retract values. “Peck” lets you break chips
and reduce chip buildup during drilling operations. “Tool Retract” allows you to pro-
gram
MILLPWR to raise the tool at regular intervals.
To program a row of holes:
• Press the HOLES key.
• Press the ROW softkey.
• In the "From" field, enter the X- and Y-axes coordinates for the center of the first
hole.
Hole Patterns
MILLPWR includes several built-in routines that let you program hole patterns quickly and
easily.
