YouTube Demo -  Peck Drilling Demo
YouTube Demo -  Peck Drilling Aluminum
Units -  Select Inch or mm system
Drill Diameter - Diameter of Drill ;-)
Drill Tip Angle -  Included Angle of Drill point (use 0 for Flatbottom).
 -  Standard drill point angle is 118°
Hole Depth - Depth to drill hole (positive number)
Breakthru Distance -  Added to Hole Depth. When drilling through, this is
   used to take the drill past the bottom of stock.
 - 
Dia -or- Tip -  Whether to take the drill tip or drill diameter to Hole Depth.
 -  For flat bottom drill/end mill, you can simply select "Drill Tip"
 -  (Drill angle will then be ignored)
Single Pass Drilling -  Drill hole(s) in single pass. Overrides Peck Depth.
Peck Depth -  Incremental peck depth before backing off to break the chip.
Chip Brk Retract -  Distance to back off to break the chip.
Full Retrack Depth -  Depth of drilling pass before complete retrack from hole.
   Used to clear chips from hole, then continue peck drilling cycle.
   Set to Zero (0) for no full retract.
 - 
Z Rapid Feed -  Use High Feedrate vs G0. Saves wear and tear on machine.
Z Positioning Feed -  Feedrate for positioning before cut move.
Drill Feedrate -  Drilling feedrate.
Chipbreak Retract Feed -  Feedrate for Chipbreak Retract.
 - 
Z Clear All -  Safe distance above part (Z zero), clamps and fixtures
   that tip of tool can move freely.
Drill Starting Height -  Distance above part (Z zero) to begin drill cycle.
X/Y Park Position -  When all drilling is done, move to this park position.
Spindle On M3 -  Include M3 at start of program.
Spindle Off M5 -  Include M5 at end of program.
Program Start M7, M8 -  Include M7 and/or M8 at start of program.
Program End M9 -  Include M9 at end of program. (cancel M7/M8)
End Of Program M30 -  End program with M30.
Use G28 park position -  End program with G28.
 -  1. G28 must be setup before using this!
 -  2. This OVERRIDES the X/Y Park Position.
 -  3. Inventables Easel will NOT load a file containing G28.
