4.6 “G176” AXIAL GROOVES ROUGH MACHINING/PRE-FINISHING CYCLE 
The G176 function activates the rough machining and pre-finishing cycle for axial grooves, working from 
the right or the left (see fig. 1) with a parting tool having a width less than the bottom of the groove 
To run a G176 cycle, position the tool with the reference edge (tool reset on the bottom edge)on the start 
cycle point, at a distance of 0.5 millimetres from the workpiece. 
The feed speed used is that which is active when the function is called up and must be specified in a block 
prior to G176. 
The G176 cycle disables the tool radius offset (G40)
