Overview
Most of the program steps described in this section can be performed
as one-step milling functions from the DRO screen or be included as
steps in a program. Many of the dialogues are similar in the way that
the data is entered. Much of the information in this chapter should be
familiar after performing the demonstration program in Chapter 7.
SET TOOL defines the tool and should appear as the first step in a
program. A SET TOOL step is required anywhere a tool change is
required. MILLPWR

will apply the latest tool setting to the program
steps that follow. See "Selecting A Tool" on page 111 as the following

example only. A spindle speed is totally dependant on
many factors (i.e. material, if coolant is used, tool
diameter, etc.). The speeds listed are not meant to be a
recommendation.
