<1> The tool moves to the position "cut-in start position + clearance
(L, M)" by rapid traverse.
<2> If [CENTER] is specified as the cutting end position, the tool
cuts in one of the groove walls and continues cutting to the center
(in the X-axis direction) of the groove at the finishing feedrate.
After retracting in the Z-axis direction, the tool performs the
same cutting operation for the other groove wall.
<3> If [CORNER] is specified as the cutting end point, the tool cuts
in to the bottom from the wall in the +X-axis direction, and
retracts by a return clearance in the X- and Z-axis directions and
then in the Z-axis direction. After this, the tool starts cutting from
the other groove wall and continues cutting to the edge of the
bottom, and then retracts by a return clearance in the X- and
Z-axis directions.
