These parameters define how the tool pecks down to the specified Depth for the hole cycle.
Cut Increment - Specifies the amount of material penetrated by each peck by the tool. This value can be reduced each peck by the Degression value.
Degression - Specifies the distance that the Cut Increment is reduced by on each peck. This also defines the smallest possible Cut Increment. If the Cut Increment is reduced to an equal or lower value compared to the Degression value, the Cut Increment is set to the Degression value.
Safe Distance - Specifies the height from the current depth of the hole that the tool moves to before each peck.
