How to use G72 for facing operation?
1 Answers
This command is a rough turning cycle for facing operations. The tool path of G72 is positioned along the Z-axis, with the X-value used for turning. W represents the depth of cut per pass along the Z-axis. It indicates the cutting depth from the cycle starting point to the endpoint for each pass. R is the retract amount, which is the distance the tool retracts after each cutting pass. P denotes the starting block number of the cycle, which is the program where the contour begins.
