P=1st line number of profile
Q=last line number of profile
Please note that the X axis starting point prior to the cycle and the X axis
ending point of the cycle are the same. This is highly recommended to
minimize any undesirable motion during the cycle.
Additional notes pertaining to this cycle:
1. Any S and or F commands programmed between the P and Q line numbers are
ignored by the control and will become active only for the finishing cycle G70.
2. Tool nose radius compensation may be used with this cycle; however it is not
active within the G71 cycle.
