End mill
In Y–axis milling (on the end face), an end mill cuts an end face of a
workpiece by moving only once along the contour determined by the
specified figure data. Specify a desired path along which the cutting tool
is to be moved.
Machining in bites is not performed along the Z–axis.
When the cursor is moved to the end of a program, a new process is
automatically created and the machining mode soft keys are displayed.
To select Y–axis end–face milling, press the [Y–MILLING] soft key,
then the [FACE] soft key.
