Example
A PVC cutter uses 2 axes similar to a X-Y plotter. The third axis is used to
control the cutting angle of the knife. To keep the resultant cutting speed for
the x and y axis equal when cutting curves, mode 1 is applied to the helical
command.
BASE(0,1,2) : MERGE=ON
'merge moves into one continuous movement
