      <p class="para_topic">Standard Drill, Break Chip activates a standard Break Chip drilling cycle at each selected CL-point. The system generates a cycle statement of the form:</p>
      <p class="para_topic">CYCLE/DRILL,BRKCHP,parameters</p>
      <p class="para_topic">where the words in upper case letters are standard APT vocabulary words and &quot;parameters&quot; represents the appropriate supporting cycle parameters.</p>
      <p class="para_topic">Resultant motions are dependent upon the target machine tool and postprocessor. However, a typical Break Chip drilling sequence consists of a feed to depth in a series of increments with a retract to a safe clearance distance (defined by your controller or machine tool) between each increment, and a retract (at the rapid Feed Rate) out of the hole after the final depth has been reached.</p>

      <p class="para_division">Resultant motions are dependent upon the target machine tool and controller. However, a typical tap sequence consists of a feed to depth, spindle reverse, and feed back out of the hole.</p>
