• GOUGE AVOIDANCE—select either YES or NO for the leading and trailing
angles of the insert to be considered as part of the tool path, for example,
turning a thread undercut.
• Select NO and the insert stays inside the programmed geometry when it
moves.
• Select YES and the shape, size, and lead angle of the insert are
considered when the tool path is determined, so the insert avoids the
programmed geometry.
• OPERATION—identifies the type of path, rough or finish, with respect to the
type of tool used for the profile. Refer to Turn Rough Operation, on page 2 -
14, Turn Finish Operation, on page 2 - 17, Groove Rough Operation, on page
2 - 20, or Groove Finish Operation, on page 2 - 22 for programming details.
• TURN ROUGH F1—select if the profile is a rough pass using a turning
tool.
• TURN FINISH F2—select if the profile is a finish pass using a turning
tool.
• GROOVE ROUGH F3—select if the profile is a rough pass using a
grooving tool.
• GROOVE FINISH F4—select if the profile is a finish pass using a grooving
tool.
