Counterbore Drill Cycle

Counterbore drill cycle generally used for counterboring. It feeds from the R-plane to Z depth, dwells for specified time, then rapids to the return point.

Peck Drill Cycle

The peck drilling cycle is generally used for peck drilling relatively shallow holes. It feeds from the R-plane to the first peck depth (calculated so that all pecks are equal and do not exceed the maximum peck distance programmed in I word). Then rapid retracts to R-plane (to clear chip), rapids down to previous depth less .02", and continues this loop until it reaches the final hole depth. It then rapid retracts to the P dimension.
