7 Programming: Canned Cycles, sub-programs



Use the rectangular pocket cycle to mill square or rectangular 
pockets. You must position the tool directly over the center of the 
pocket prior to the Rectangular Pocket cycle, or use the X Y data.



Activate a tool prior to programming, so cutter diameter is known.

Length

M

Length of pocket in X-axis. (Required)

Width

W

Width of pocket in Y-axis. (Required)

StartHgt

H

Z absolute starting height (0.1” or 2 mm 
above surface). Executed in rapid. 
(Required)

ZDepth

Z

Absolute depth of pocket. (Required)

StepOver

A

The distance the tool steps over (width of 
cut) in the X and Y axes as it mills out the 
pocket. Defaults to tool radius, which is the 
max.

XCenter

X

X coordinate of the pocket center point. 
Defaults to current position.

YCenter

Y

Y coordinate of the pocket center point. 
Defaults to current position.

CornerRad

U

The arc radius of all four corners of the 
pocket. Defaults to tool radius, which is the 
minimum value allowed.

DepthCut

B

The depth of each cut per pass. Defaults to 
tool diameter. Max is the full ZDepth in 
parameter Z, less bottom finish stock. A 
negative value will cause the finish pass to 
finish the side walls in steps down.

FinStock

S

Amount of stock left by the roughing 
passes for a finish pass. This amount 
applies to the sides and bottom unless R 
(SideStock) is defined; then, S (FinStock) 
only applies to the bottom. Default is no 
stock left.
