Face Grooving Cycle G74 Or Longitudinal Cut-Off Cycle 
            This function is used for smooth disposal of machining ships in longitudinal cut-off machining. For SS materials which produce hard-to-cut machining chips this function can be managed for easy machining chip disposal. You can use this cycle for drilling 
Programming Format:-
            G74 R__;
         G74 X__ Z__ P__ Q__ R__ F__ S__ T__;
 Description:-
            R        =        Distance of Return 
          X        =        Absolute Value / Incremental Value of X-Axis 
          Z        =        Absolute Value / Incremental Value of Z Axis 
          P        =        X-Axis Movement Distance 
          Q       =        Z-axis cut depth 
R        =        ( 2nd R )Tool Escape Distance at the Bottom of Cut 
          F        =        Feed Rate 
          S        =        S Command 
          T        =        T Command 
Drilling Cycle :-
         For drilling X, P and R (2nd ) are  not required .Omit these dada.
Notes:-
1. During single block operation, all the blocks are executed step by step2. Omission of address X , P and R( 2nd ) provides the operation of Z axis alone , resulting in peck drilling cycle.3. R ( 1st ) and R ( 2nd ) are both command values address R. the differentiation is given by whether Z is commanded together . that is ,the command R together with Z results in the flat of R ( 2nd )4. Cycle operation is performed in the block where Z is commanded
