A Common Task

What is a Cycle?
Normally, we only perform one positioning or cutting
task in each block.
However, tasks such as the four block turning
sequence just provided are so common that control
designers have incorporated CYCLES to reduce
programming time.
A cycle combines multiple moves into a single
programmed block.

Position
To use the rectangular turning cycle, you must first position the cutter at the Cycle
Start Point. The cutter will also end up at the cycle start point at the end of the cycle.
The program looks like this:
G90 Xnewx Znewz Fnewf
The cutter rapids to the newx diameter, feeds to the newz length, feeds to the
starting X value, and then rapids back to the starting Z value. You get four blocks for
just one programmed!

2.250
We will turn the 3.000 and 3.500 diameter steps on this part at 800fpm using the
80 degree C shaped insert in tool 2.

Examine drawing
How will we hold the raw material in a 3 jaw chuck.
Decide what cutters to use given hard, coated carbide C shaped
insert, and the cutting speed is also given (800fpm). Well use
constant cutting speed (css) and let the machine calculate and
adjust the RPM based on the X position of the cutter.
Write down the exact sequence of operations:
