8.1 Milling and Drilling
Tool path description:
The tool path follows the profile of the contour steps.
The Z step size is determined by the system and will not exceed the
specified distance or number of passes.
The tool retracts to the active datum's retract position between Z
passes.
Approach and departure moves are optional. For Line, the tool
approaches/departs with a linear move tangent to the first or last
step of the contour.
For Arc, the tool approaches/departs with a tangential arc to a
location away from the contour.
A finish allowance is optional. If specified, this amount of material
is left on the side of the contour to be removed on the finish pass.
When finish feed is 0, the finish pass will be skipped.
