Absolute X coordinate of the center of the

ArcInRad
R
Size of radius arcing into start of thread.
NOTE: If R is a positive value or not set and
the thread is "inside", the cycle always
returns to the center between passes.
If R is a negative value, the cutter moves to
the start or end point that is closest to the
center if inside thread, and farthest away
from center if outside thread.
If R is not specified at all and the thread is
outside, the cutter backs away from the
largest diameter by an amount equal to the
thread depth.

Passes
E
Number of roughing cuts to be taken.
NOTE: If Stock is not set or set to zero and
E is 1 or 0, the cycle makes just one pass at
the full depth.
If Stock is set to greater than zero and E is
1 or 0, the cycle makes one pass at the
stock depth and one pass at full thread
depth.
NOTE: If you would like all non-cutting
positioning moves to be rapid, set E to a
negative number.
