| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| P | Contour start block number |
| Q | Contour end block number. |
| I | Distance and direction of relief in x-axis (radius value). This is the amount of material which will be cut in x-axis. |
| K | Distance and direction of relief in z-axis. This is the amount of material which will be cut in z-axis. |
| U | Finishing allowance in x-axis. |
| W | Finishing allowance in z-axis. |
| D | Depth of roughing cut. |
Note: I and K are not available on all cnc controls which have G71 g-code. So if your cnc control complains just omit G71 I, K parameters.
