Mills vs Lathes: The Differences Explained

[lwptoc] Most machine shops and other metalworking manufacturers have milling machines and lathe machines. Each machine employs subtractive manufacturing to remove material from a workpiece and transform it into the desired shape and specifications. The differences between the two machine tools are in how they accomplish the shaping and sizing, and the primary difference between

29. Create a Peck Drilling Program in Circular or Rectangular Patterns
Using the Circular or Rectangular Drilling Wizards, you can program the machine to drill an un-limited series of holes along the X and Y planes. Program it to drill straight through to your total depth, use a high-speed pecking cycle, or deep hole pecking cycle. You can program the cut-in depth and return point for a controlled peck drill application to maximize chip clearance.
