Straight polar

A straight line in the polar coordinate system is defined by a radius (L) and an angle (α). The
angle refers to the X axis.
The tool moves from its actual position along a straight line to the programmed end point at
the machining feedrate or in rapid traverse.
The 1st straight line in polar coordinates entered after the pole must be programmed with an
absolute angle. You can program any additional straight lines or circles with incremental
coordinates.
