Machining posi‐
tion (only for G
code)
● Single position
Drill hole at programmed position
● Position pattern
Position with MCALL
F1

Drilling feedrate
mm/min
mm/rev
Z0 (only for G
code)
Reference point Z
mm
Z1
Thread length (inc) or end point of the thread (abs)
mm
D
Maximum depth infeed
● D ≥ Z1: Infeed to the final drilling depth
● D < Z1: Several infeeds with stock removal
mm
DF
● Percentage for each additional infeed
DF=100: Infeed increment remains constant
DF<100: Amount of infeed is reduced in direction of final drilling depth Z1
Example: last infeed 4 mm; DF 80%
next infeed = 4 x 80% = 3.2 mm
next but one infeed = 3.2 x 80% = 2.56 mm etc.
● Amount for each additional infeed
