Circular Profile Cycle

The Circular Profile Cycle cleans up the inside or outside profile of an
existing circle.

When executed, the CNC rapids to Ramp#1 starting position, rapids
to H (StartHgt), then feeds to the depth of the first cut.

The machine feeds into the profile along Ramp #1, cuts the circle to
the specified D (Diameter) then ramps away from the work along
Ramp #2.

When cutting an outside profile, the tool ramps into the work along
Ramp #1 and away from the work along Ramp #2.

The Circular Profile Cycle automatically compensates for tool
diameter. Activate the correct tool diameter before the cycle block.
