Mill Steps

This function lets you mill a straight line. The

readout will first preset the location of the
starting point of the line, then the end position of
the line.

F

ROM

—enter the start point of the line.

D

EPTH

—this may be left blank.

T

O

—use an axis key to select either a horizontal

or vertical movement, then enter the end point of
the line.

T

OOL

C

OMP

—use the softkeys to select left, center,

or right radius compensation.

When you program a continuous contour of

milling steps, the readout will compensate for
tool offset at the start and end of each cut. For
mill steps to be continuous, they must:

have the same depth,

be cut with the same tool,

be cut on the same side (left, right, or center),

“touch”—the end of one must be the same as the start of the next.

When you follow one Mill Step with another, the readout assumes that you

want them to be connected. It automatically fills in the

F

ROM

point,

D

EPTH

, and

T

OOL

C

OMP

. All you have to do is fill in the

T

O

point and press

detect continuous contours,
and will mark the program
