6. Steps 4 and 5 are repeated until the programmed spigot depth is reached.
7. The tool moves back to the safety clearance in rapid traverse.
Procedure
1.
The part program or ShopMill program to be processed has been created
and you are in the editor.
2.
Press the "Contour milling" and "Spigot" softkeys.
The "Mill spigot" input window opens.
3.
Select the "Roughing" machining type.
