As shown in the figure below, this cycle is the same as G71 except that
cutting is made by a operation parallel to X axis.

The following four cutting patterns are considered. All of these cutting
cycles are made parallel to X axis and the sign of ∆u and ∆w are as follows

Signs of numbers specified with u and w in stock removal in facing
The tool path between A and A’ is specified in the block with sequence
number “ns” including G00 or G01, and in this block, a move command
in the X axis cannot be specified. The tool path between A’ and B must
be steadily increasing and decreasing pattern in both X and Z axes.
Whether the cutting along AA’ is G00 or G01 mode is determined by the
command between A and A’, as described in item 13.2.1.
