Pocket Cycles
Pocketing cycles eliminate extensive programming. One block of
programming mills out the described pocket.

Always check that tool-to-corner radii do not conflict.
Z and P dimensions are absolute.
Alarm messages occur if the CNC detects program errors.
Pocket cycles use "built-in" tool diameter compensation.
Stock variable is not permitted and is ignored.
Pocket Cycle Overview:
The tool StepOver value must be equal to or less than the tool

Roughing passes are climb mill (CCW) only. Finishing passes are

(CW) using the FinishDir parameter.

A finish pass of only side stock will cut the entire ZDepth, unless a
negative DepthCut is specified, which will indicate to finish the side
walls in multiple steps down.

To leave finish stock during the pocket cycles to be removed with
later finish passes, select the option "Yes" for the SkipFinish
parameter. This will leave finish stock but not remove it.

When you cut one pocket inside another, make sure to set
