This video demonstrates selected machining steps from Task 10 of the Christiani exercise collection “CNC Milling Technology according to PAL2020”. We illustrate these steps using the 3D simulation of our CNC software SYMplus™. This is not the complete solution to the task, but an explanation of key PAL G-codes.
What to expect in the video:
✅ Outer contour with RN transitions (G41, G1, G2)
✅ Circular pocket/rectangular pocket (G73, G72)
✅ Milling an arc groove (G75)
✅ Drilling & threading (G81–G84)
✅ 2 mm Chamfer
Who is this video for?
Perfect for CNC programmers, machinists, and instructors looking to improve their PAL G-code programming skills for CNC Milling.

From Practical Experience to Teaching Confidence: Trainers Strengthen CNC Skills at the KELLER.Academy
Even trainers sometimes need training themselves. Mr. Schöntag from Motion Makers GmbH has plenty of hands-on experience at the machine, but for his role in vocational training, he wanted to gain a deeper understanding of how SYMplus™ is structured and how the PAL (CNC) basics are applied in practice.
For that, the course “Basic DIN/PAL programming with SYMplus™” was the perfect choice.
Thank you for visiting the KELLER.Academy, Mr. Schöntag!
