Abstract
A contour configuration machining system of an interactive numerical control apparatus is provided for carrying out a machining operation by a lathe by programming a predetermined contour configuration based on configuration data of straight lines, arcs and the like. A cutting direction (9) is independently set on a display (1) for each of the above configuration data and the machining operation is carried out by moving a tool according to the set cutting direction, whereby the machining efficiency is improved when a configuration composed of a series of contours is to be machined.
