7 Programming: Canned Cycles, sub-programs



Use Side Finish to remove side stock left by a previously 
programmed pocket cycle.



Side Finish must be programmed immediately after a compatible 
pocket cycle that has left side stock. All side stock is removed in one 
pass if no DepthCut is specified. Multiple finish passes are possible 
using SideStock.



Islands definitions apply to this cycle, and will be avoided, and sides 
finished if active.



Islands need to be re-defined after the pocket cycle, before the Side 
Finish call.
