Key points about the Cleanout cycle:
• When creating a pocket the first move in your cleanout cycle must be a linear move.
• If the profile contour does not end at the start point, a linear segment will automatically be inserted to close the

• The last line of the contour will not include a connecting radius to the starting point.
Once you have defined the specifics of your cleanout cycle, the shape of your pocket will be defined through a series
of lines and arcs by choosing the F2-Linear and F3-Arc options in the cleanout cycle.
