Name

This is what you give to describe your wizard and it will be displayed on the F5 conversational page

Tool No

This is the tool number you will be using to machine the part.

CAUTION: This wizard does not manage Lathe tool change position for Automatic tool changers. It is important when using an automatic tool changer that the Gcode be reviewed before running the file to ensure that the tool is moved to a suitable position before the tool change takes place. This is not a problem for manual tool change as the user will move the current tool to a safe location before changing tool.

Spindle Spin up Delay (ms)

This adds a delay after the spindle starts turning before machining starts maching

Spindle Direction

The user can select to run the spindle clockwise or counterclockwise.

Spindle RPM

This is the spindle speed used while drilling the hole

Drill Feedrate

This is the feed rate that the drill will advance into the hole while cutting

Bottom Dwell

This is the time in milliseconds that the drill will stop at the bottom of the hole as the completion of the drill cycles
If dwell is set to 0 there will be no dwell.

Peck Depth

This is the distance that the drill will advance into the hole for each peck before backing out a little to break the chips before advancing again.
The number of pecks required will be determined by the total depth of the hole defined by the difference between Z Start and Z End parameters.
If the peck distance is equal to the depth of cut there will be no peck and the drill will cut the hole in one continuous move

Z End

This defines the Z axis end point working coordinate that the drill will reach at the end of drilling the hole
The actual depth of the cut will be determined by the difference between Z Start and Z End
Z End is a smaller number than Z Start

Z start

This defines the Z axis starting point working coordinate that the cutter will begin drilling the hole.
The depth of the cut will be determined by the difference between Z Start and Z End
Z Start is a larger number than Z End

Tool Clearance

This is the starting point from which the drill starts the cut.
The clearance distance allows distance for the tool to reach the required feed rate before it starts cutting and will be in the Z axis direction
Clearance is always a positive number

This saves the changes to the wizard and returns you to the F5 conversational page.
If there are missing parameters or incorrect incorrect eg no tool number specified
It will specify the nature of the error and highlight the parameters that are causing the issue.
