Geometry
X CenterX |
The distance from the origin of workpiece to the center of the circle in X direction. |
Y CenterY |
The distance from the origin of workpiece to the center of the circle in Y direction. |
Z StartZ |
The distance from the origin of workpiece to the upper surface of removed area in Z direction. |
D Depth |
Depth of removal. |
R StartR |
Radius of the first circle. |
I DeltaR |
The radial difference between two neighboring circle. |
M Count |
Count of holes in radial direction. |

|
SpindleDir |
CW |
Spindle rotates in CW. |
CCW |

|
H ZUpper |
Z axis would halt at this position which is related to StartZ before and after drilling. |
|
M HoleMode |
Simple |
Drill to the designated depth directly. |
Peck |
Lift Z up a fixed distance after every step of drilling until reaching the designated depth. |
|
Retract |
Lift Z up to the ZUpper after every step of drilling until reaching the designated depth. |
|
Q StepDepth |
Depth per drilling of peck/retract mode. |
|
N PauseSec |
Pause for a while when it reached the bottom of a hole. This setting is only valid on simple drilling. |
