Pre-drilling for grinding the coping and machining with upward tool movement only, no full cut for 5X peeling.

Cycles  
 | 
 
 | 
Simple drilling 
 | 
The drill hole is created in a single step, e.g., for center drilling, pre-drilling. 
  
1) Feedrate 
2) Rapid traverse 
  
 | 
Drilling with chip break 
 | 
The drill hole is created in several steps (Z1, Z2, Z...). 
After each drilling stroke, the tool retracts in rapid traverse mode by the retract value (3): shorter chips and better chip removal.  
The step (infeed) is reduced by the reduction value after each drilling stroke. 
   
1) Feedrate 
2) Rapid traverse 
3) Retract value 
  
 | 
Drilling with pecking 
 | 
The drill hole is created in several steps (Z1, Z2, Z...).  
After each drilling stroke, the tool retracts in rapid traverse mode to the clearance distance (3): The drill hole is cleared.  
The step (infeed) is reduced by the reduction value after each drilling stroke. 
  
1) Feedrate 
2) Rapid traverse 
3) Clearance distance 
  
 | 
Spiral milling 
 | 
Finishing of the precise final diameter of the hole in a spiral milling process.  
The combination of pre-drilling with a drill and spiral milling of any diameter enables fast, flexible production with just a few tools.

Hole diameter

mm 
Final diameter of the hole during spiral milling. 
  
 | 
Cone angle 
 | 
(only for 5X dental finishing) 
Angle for opening the hole.

 | 
Side on which processing takes place.

 | 
Position 
 | 
Position of the drill hole. This information is important for the position of subsequent machining. 
 | 
Mid of coping 
 | 
The drill hole is made in the center of the coping. 
 | 
Deepest point in coping 
 | 
The drill hole is made at the lowest point of the coping. 
  
Caution! Synchronization with the pre-drilling job of the infeed point in the center during “Overall finishing cavity side (cap) – 3D equidistant finishing flow.”  
Prerequisites:
