Sinumerik L93 Recessing Cycle allows machining of grooves longitudinal, face, outside and inside.
Also called L93 Cut-in Cycle.

Sinumerik L93 Recessing Cycle Applications
Sinumerik Recessing Cycle L93 allows machining of
- Longitudinal grooves.
- Grooves on face.
- Outside grooves.
- Inside grooves.
Tool Offset
Both cutting edges of the grooving tool have to be stored in neighboring tool offset numbers(e.g. D21 and D22).
