Working planes

Y-axis machining

When programming drilling or milling operations with the Y axis,
you need to define the working plane.
If no working plane is programmed, the control assumes a turning
operation or a milling operation with the C axis (G18 XZ plane).
G17 XY plane (front or rear face)
Milling cycles are executed in the XY plane, with the depth feed for
milling and drilling cycles in the Z direction.
G18 XZ plane (turning)
In the XZ plane, normal turning operations as well as drilling and
milling operations are executed with the C axis.
G19 YZ plane (lateral view / lateral surface)
Milling cycles are executed in the YZ plane, with the depth feed for
milling and drilling cycles in the X direction.
