Threshold value for singular posture in the cutting point command mode (for other than rapid feed)

Machine-specific. This parameter list is specific to the Mazak INTEGREX e-670H / e-670H-S with the MAZATROL SmoothX control (manual HA64HA0035E). Other Mazak models and control generations use different addresses, ranges and meanings — verify on your own control before changing anything.
What it does

Threshold value for singular posture in the cutting point command mode (for other than rapid feed)

During operation other than rapid feed (G00), the tool is said to be in a singular posture when the vector normal to machining face and the tool posture vector are parallel. When the orientations of the two vectors are within the threshold value, the tool is considered to be in a singular posture. * When 0 is set, 500 (0.0000500°) is assumed. * For rapid feed (G00), parameter K254 is used.
