Tool

Diameter

Here, the tool diameter, which was predefined depending on the current machine and the selected material, is displayed. If no suitable tool is available, a dialogue box for tool selection is opened.

Plunge

Here, you enter how deep the tool should plunge into the material for machining. This value must be at least equal to the sheet thickness in order to generate a separating machining.

ID number

The identification number of the tool is entered here. The selection can also be made via the Tool management dialogue box, which is opened by clicking the .. button.

Allowance

Here, you can enter the value that is added or subtracted as an allowance for the contour. The function is only available if the traverse path is calculated equidistantly without path correction.

Travel path (traverse)

Equidistant

With this option, the tool path is calculated offset by half the tool diameter from the contour. If the traverse path is set to Equidistant, path correction must not be activated.

Centre

This option sets the tool path exactly on the contour. When the traverse path is set to centre, path correction must be activated.

Path correction

Here, the output is activated with path correction.
