DXY
Max. infeed in the XY plane (dependent on milling cutter diameter)
Alternatively, you can specify the plane infeed as a %, as a ratio → plane infeed (mm)
to milling cutter diameter (mm).

Finishing allowance, depth

Note
The same finishing allowance must be entered for both roughing and finishing. The finishing
allowance is used to position the tool for retraction.
5.8.2
Simple stock removal of workpiece (for milling/turning machine)
Some blanks do not have a smooth or even surface. For example, you can use the stock
removal cycle to turn the face surface of the workpiece before machining actually takes place.
If you want to bore out a collet using the stock removal cycle, program an undercut (XF2) in
the corner.
CAUTION
Risk of collision
The tool moves along a direct path to the starting point of the stock removal.
First move the tool to a safe position in order to avoid collisions during the approach.
