This cycle operation is performed according to the figure determined
by the tool nose radius compensation path when the offset vector is 0
at start point A and start-up is performed in a block between path
A-A'.

NOTE
To perform pocketing in the tool nose radius
compensation mode, specify the linear block A-A'
outside the workpiece and specify the figure of an
actual pocket. This prevents a pocket from being
dug.
