REAL
Safety clearance (to be added to the reference plane; enter without sign)
_DP
REAL
Pocket depth (absolute)
_PRAD
REAL
Pocket radius
_PA
REAL
Starting point (absolute), first axis of the plane
_PO
REAL
Starting point (absolute), second axis of the plane
_MID
REAL

3: With G3
_VARI
INT
Machining type

The other parameters can be selected as options. They define the insertion strategy and the overlap for solid machining (to
be entered without sign):
_MIDA
REAL
Maximum infeed width as a value in solid machining in the plane
_AP1
REAL
Pocket radius blank dimension

REAL
Blank pocket depth dimension from reference plane
_RAD1
REAL
Radius of the helical path during insertion (relative to the tool center point path)
_DP1
REAL
Insertion depth per 360° revolution on insertion along helical path
