POSITION / DRILL Dialogue.
 In the POINT field enter the X and Y axes coordinates.
 In the Z field enter the BEGIN and END depths.
 Enter either the number of pecks or the distance between each
peck (also know as Chip Break). If the option wanted is not
displayed, go to Job Setup and select the other.
 Select the job option to be used: DRILL, BORE, or POSITION using
the soft keys, or from the drop down menu.
DRILL: Basic drilling cycle is generally used for center drilling or hole.
BORE: Generally used to make a pass in each direction on a bore or
to tap with a self-reversing tapping head. It feeds from the begin
depth to Z depth, and then feeds back to the retract height.
POSITION: Data can be entered to move the table to a position in
the X & Y direction. Z moves are done manually.
 Enter the Z axis feed rate. The default FEED IPM rate provided must
be adjusted according to the current machining operation. This field
will automatically use the last entered feed rate in the program
 If you want the tool to retract enter either the number of retracts or
the distance between each retract.
 Enter the length of time (in seconds) the tool should dwell (pause)
after it has retracted out of the part.
 Enter the length of time (in seconds) the tool should dwell at the end
depth before the final retract.
