Function
When specifying the working plane in which the desired contour is to be machined, the following functions are defined at the same time:
- Plane for the tool radius compensation
- Infeed direction for the tool length compensation depending on the type of tool
- Plane for the circle interpolation
When calling the tool path correction G41/G42, the working plane must be defined so that the CNC can correct the tool length and radius.
In the basic setting, the working plane G17 (X/Y) is preset for drilling/milling, and G18 (Z/X) for turning.
