Geometry



Part profile
Part and rough stock profiles are required. They is specified by selecting edges either directly or after selecting the By Curve context menu command in red part area.

See Selecting Edges and Faces to Define Geometry.

Rough stock offset
Specifies rough stock offset perpendicular to the rough stock profile.
Part offset
Specifies part offset perpendicular to the part profile.
Axial part offset
Specifies axial part offset perpendicular to the part profile.
Radial part offset
Specifies radial part offset perpendicular to the part profile.

Offsets is positive or negative with any absolute value. The global offset applied to the part profile is the resulting value of the normal, axial and radial offsets.

Unsupported Geometry for Ramp Recess Turning

In a case like the one shown in the figure below, if the depth of cut is not sufficient, it is not possible to reach the right and flank.



A warning message is issued recommending you to machine the profile in two Machining Operations. Other possibilities to work around the problem are:

  • Add an offset to the profile
  • Increase the depth of cut.
