Selecting 2 Axis Mode on 3 Axis Systems

To run a program in 2 axis mode, disengage the quill assembly
before pressing the GO key.

A prompt will appear indicating that the quill is disengaged.

If this is intentional, press GO and the program will run in 2 axis
mode.

To program a specific step to run in 2 axis mode:

Select POSITION for the Z operation type (drill steps).

For pockets, clear the Z begin depth field.

When the step is run, the Z axis servo motor will be turned off to
allow manual movement.

Follow all manual Z motion prompts. See "Tool Table" on
page 44
for a complete description about using the Tool
Table.
