Plunge-cutting rest (CYCLE952)

Function
The "Grooving residual material" function is used when you want to machine the material
that remained after grooving along the contour.
During grooving, the cycle automatically detects any residual material and generates an
updated blank contour. For a G code program, the function must have been previously
selected. Material that remains as part of the finishing allowance is not residual material. The
"Grooving residual material" function allows you to remove unwanted material with a suitable
tool.
