Machining Tolerance |
Specifies the maximum allowed distance between the
theoretical and computed tool path. |
Maximum Discretization
Angle |
Specifies the maximum angular change of tool axis between
tool positions.Notes:
- The Maximum discretization angle influences the
number of points on the tool path: Choose its value carefully to avoid a
high concentration of points along the tool trajectory.
- Maximum discretization angle also applies to
macro paths defined in machining feedrate. It does not apply to macro
paths that do not have machining feedrate (RAPID, Approach, Retract,
User, and so on).

Machining Tolerance |
Specifies the maximum allowed distance between the
theoretical and computed tool path. |
Cutting Mode |
Specifies the position of the tool regarding the surface
to be machined.
Climb |
The front of the tool (advancing in the
machining direction) cuts into the material first. |
Conventional |
The back of the tool (advancing in the
machining direction) cuts into the material first. |
Either |
Either of the two possibilities may be used
depending on which is most suitable to the current cutting
action. |
|
Machining Mode |
Specifies the machining mode.
By Plane |
The whole part is machined plane by
plane. |
By Area |
The whole part is machined area by
area. |
|
On |
Specifies the side of the part to machined.
Pockets Only |
Only pockets on the part are machined. |
Outer Part |
Only the outside of the part is
machined. |
Outer Part and
Pockets |
The whole part is machined outer area by outer
area and then pocket by pocket. |
|
Pass Overlap |
Defines an overlap distance of the end of a pass over the
beginning. |
Switch to Rapid Feedrate |
Defines the length of pass over which the feedrate value
in the linking passes switches to a rapid one. |
