These are also addresses within numerous canned and multiple repetitive cycles within many controls.

Ok....Mark....
So is that so that U & W are used mostly on turning centre... Does they exist on a machining centre...???
Sometimes i feel that that these Address used for axis defination are so confusing....For example, "U axis is a relative movement in a turning centre & the same U axis is a taper cutting axis on WireCut"....These Manufacturer have clubbed address so it hard for anybody to interpret it easily..............Well just wanted to express manufacturer's desire...........
