WinMax Lathe Conversational Part Programming v546CO Conversational Part Programming 2-19
• SPRING PASSES—identifies the number of repetitions the finish tool will
make at the final finish depth. This field appears when Turn Finish is selected
for the Operation.
• APPROACH ANGLE—identifies the angle the tool approaches the stock. Used
with the Approach Clearance to determine a vector which defines how the
tool moves toward the beginning of the profile. This field appears when Turn
Finish is selected for the Operation. The figure below shows a 45° approach
angle for each Step:

• APPROACH CLEARANCE—identifies the clearance of the tool as it
approaches the stock. Used with the Approach Angle to determine a vector
which defines how the tool moves toward the beginning of the profile. This
field appears when Turn Rough or Turn Finish is selected for the Operation.
• RETRACT ANGLE—pulls the tool off the profile between steps along a vector
in the direction of retract angle if NO is selected for RETRACT ALONG
PROFILE, shown as 2 in Figure 2–12. Groove Operation Cut Clearance and
Retract Clearance example, on page 2 - 21. The default is 45°. This field
appears for all rough and finish operations.
• RETRACT CLEARANCE—identifies the distance that the tool moves away
from the wall, shown as 3 in Figure 2–12. Groove Operation Cut Clearance
and Retract Clearance example, on page 2 - 21, before moving at Rapid to
the start of the next pass. The default is 0.254 mm or 0.010 inch. This field
appears for all rough and finish operations.
• OVERRIDE TOLERANCE—overrides the default tolerance, 0.00254 mm or
0.0001 inch, for elements in the current profile when Yes is selected. The
ELEMENT TOLERANCE field is active when Yes is selected.
