You have successfully added two spindle sequences to the list. This means we can program a single arc geometry with the diameter of the finished thread or hole and have more than one spindle operation occur. For example, if the 24.00mm sequence we created is selected during processing then the machine will drill, tap, counter-bore and chamfer in the correct sequence.
