_FF3 (retraction feedrate)
Parameter _FF3 is used to define a retraction feedrate
for intermediate positioning in the plane (in the open)
when intermediate motions are to be performed with
feed (G01). If no feedrate is programmed, the
intermediate motions are carried out with surface feed
for G01.
Further notes
A tool offset must be activated before the cycle is
called. Otherwise the cycle is aborted and alarm
61000 "No tool offset active" is output.
