This program involves a simple drilling cycle with a defined retract plane. Once the G-code for the drill cycle
has been executed, only the X and/or Y location of the remaining holes need to be defined

Unit Assignment 5
Figure 1
Assignment 5:
Figure 1 shows a part to be machined on a CNC milling Centre. The rectangular ,
circular and semi-circular slots are to be milled using an End Mill cutter (0.5
inches dia. - T01) in two linear feed steps each to a depth of 0.25 inches
respectively at a cutter speed of 1500 rpm.
The counter-bored holes are to be drilled in three steps; first a centre drill (0.0625
inches dia. – T02 @ 1400 rpm) is used to locate the centres of these counter-
bored holes followed by an HSS drill (0.25 inches dia. –T03 @ 1200 rpm) to drill
through in ten canned cycles. Finally an HSS drill (.5 in dia. - T04 @ 1000 rpm)
is used to counter-bore to a depth of 0.5 inches in five canned cycles.
The retract plane for all canned cycles is (Z 0.1). Using the Standard G & M-
codes and without the use of compensations, write a CNC program to machine
this part.
