Tool parameters

Diameter

The diameter that is used on the tool for machining the contour is entered here.

Peak-to-valley depth

The peak-to-valley depth to be achieved is entered here.

Offset centred X

The distance from the centre of the machining diameter perpendicular to the centre of the tool is entered here.

Offset centred Y

The distance from the centre of the machining diameter vertical to the lower edge of the tool is entered here.

Path parameters

Start extension

Here, you enter how far the machining on the entry side should extend beyond the source element. This distance should be at least half the tool diameter.

End extension

Here, you enter how far the machining on the exit side should extend beyond the source element. This distance should be at least half the tool diameter.

Method

Line

With this option, a line is provided as the source element for the Z contour.

Arc

With this option, an arc is provided as the source element for the Z contour.

Contour

With this option, a free contour is provided as the source element for the Z contour.
