6 Cross Holes on the Cylindrical Surface – G15 G19 IP1
This video demonstrates selected machining steps from Task 3 of the Christiani exercise collection “CNC Turning Technology according to PAL2020 with Driven Tools”. 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:
✅ Milling on a lathe using G15 G19 IP1
✅ Cross holes on the cylindrical surface
✅ Understanding Y-axis movements using the C-axis
✅ Creating a hole pattern using G81 + G76 (circumferential distribution)
Who is this video for?
Perfect for CNC programmers, machinists, and instructors looking to improve their PAL G-code programming skills for CNC Turning (Driven Tools).

KELLER.Academy: Don’t just watch — get hands-on!
Our “Fundamentals of DIN/PAL Programming with SYMplus™” course was once again all about learning the software through hands-on practice:
- Writing CNC programs
- Running simulations
- Setting up tools and magazines
- Working with typical PAL programming content directly in SYMplus™
This time, the course included Mr. Lichtenauer from Helmut Fischer GmbH — as well as a special participant from our team: our apprentice software developer, Mr. Daba. At KELLER, we believe SYMplus™ shouldn’t just be something you know in theory. No matter which department you work in, getting hands-on experience with the software is an important part of understanding it.
Thank you for two great training days and the enjoyable exchange. We’re looking forward to continuing our collaboration with Helmut Fischer GmbH!

Final exams are approaching (KELLER Newsletter)
That time of year is coming up again: the final exams for industrial and technical training occupations are just around the corner. This also means that a new generation of skilled workers will soon be entering the workforce – and for many companies, a new phase begins: onboarding, supporting, and further developing them.
Those who completed their training with SYMplus may have a slight advantage here (although we might not be entirely objective about that).
In any case, we wish everyone the best of success!
A look at past exams
Speaking of exams: Did you know that after each exam, we recreate the written task in SYMplus and upload it as a simulation on our YouTube channel (@CNC KELLER GmbH →)?
For example, we’ve already done this for last year’s exams (Summer 2025 – turning and milling – and Winter 2025 – turning and milling).
Our goal is not to provide a model solution but to show the tasks “in motion”:
How does the machining process run?
How does the workpiece develop step by step?
And most importantly: What has been asked—and what might be asked—in upcoming exams?
Here’s the playlist with exam videos: →
Please note: The exam videos are currently available in German only!

Instant CNC
While we’re on the topic of videos: in our “Instant CNC” series, we go through selected tasks from the CHRISTIANI task collection (turning, milling, driven tools, etc.) and simulate them using SYMplus.
Based on each task, we then explain selected PAL commands and cycles briefly and concisely – “instant,” so to speak.
Here’s the “Instant CNC” playlist: →
Like, Subscribe, Comment
One of the best things about YouTube is that everything is free and available at any time. If you find the videos helpful, we would, of course, appreciate a like, a subscription, or a comment.
A new software update is coming soon
While trainees are preparing for their exams, we are already working behind the scenes on the next SYMplus update. We will keep you informed as soon as there is something new to share.

Until then, we wish you all the best in the workshop!

CNC Training for CNC Trainer at the KELLER.Academy
dormakaba Germany and Deutsche Edelstahlwerke Karrierewerkstatt at the KELLER.Academy!
Both companies are currently strengthening their CNC training directly within their own operations—with SYMplus™ as the foundation.
The reason: What is learned externally often doesn’t fully match a company’s actual production environment. A lot of it has to be adapted or even rebuilt once back in the shop. By bringing training in-house, this step is no longer necessary.
But before getting started, the responsible team members had to go back to “school” themselves. At the KELLER.Academy, they learned how to use the software confidently and how to structure and deliver training content effectively.
Thank you for two great training days, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration!
