ACU-RITE 3500i 177
7. 2 C a n n e d C y c l e s
G-code format: G77
Field Code Description
SideStock R Amount of stock left by the roughing
passes for a finish pass on the sides only.
This amount overrides the value in S
(FinStock). A value of zero can force stock
to be left only on the bottom. Default is
equal to S (FinStock).
RampFeed J The feedrate at which the tool will "ramp"
into the pocket in all three axes. Default is
last programmed feedrate.
Rough Feed I Feedrate used during roughing passes.
Default is last programmed feedrate.
FinFeed K Feedrate used during finish passes. If
entered as negative, finish pass will mill in
conventional (CW) direction. Default is last
programmed feedrate.
ReturnHgt P Z-axis absolute start and finish height
(must be equal to or above "H"), used as a
safety/clearance Z position before making
X/Y moves. Executed in rapid at start and
end of cycle. Defaults to current Z position
at beginning of cycle.
CoarseTool T Number of tool used for previous roughing
cycle.
SkipRough E Yes = Roughing pass is skipped, only finish
pass is performed.
No = Roughing pass is performed.
(Default)
SkipFinish F Yes = Finish pass is skipped, only rough
pass is performed.
No = Finish pass is performed. (Default)
Direction Q Select Cw or Ccw.
