Procedure
1. The part program or ShopMill program to be processed has been created
and you are in the editor.
2. Press the "Contour milling" and "Pocket" softkeys.
The "Mill pocket" input window opens.

Machining The following machining operations can be selected:
● ∇ (roughing)
● ∇∇∇ base (base finishing)
● ∇∇∇ edge (edge finishing)
● Chamfering
Z0 Reference point in the tool axis Z mm
Z1 Pocket depth (abs) or depth relative to Z0 (inc)
