Lathe grooving cycle G74, G75 <LATHEGROOVE>


Cycle <LATHEGROOVE(402)> implements the G74 cylindrical grooving canned cycle and G75 face grooving canned cycle. Groove shape is rectangular and is defined by its dimensions: width and height. The cutting is done by consequent work passes of the tool with Z and X axes stepping.
