Machining cycle
Drilling
Axial drilling with support for peck feeding
The cycle form: peck drilling shown — the drilling step and chip-break retract, with a live 2D path simulator on the right.
The drilling cycle moves the tool along the workpiece axis to the given depth, breaking the pass into steps for chip evacuation on deep holes when needed.
Who needs this cycle
Needed for center and axial holes — from spot holes to through holes, including deep drilling with chip evacuation.
