Description of finish cut along edge:
Unit
T, F, V See Sec. "Programming the tool, offset value and spindle speed".
Machining type Edge finishing
Z0 Workpiece height (abs.) mm
Z1 Depth with reference to Z0 (abs. or inc.) mm
DZ Max. infeed, depth mm
UXY Finishing allowance, plane mm
Retraction
mode
If the machining operation requires several points of insertion, the retraction height
can be programmed:
• To retraction plane
• Z0 + safety clearance (SC)
On making the transition to the next insertion point, the tool returns to this height.
If no elements greater than Z0 are in the pocket area, Z0 + safety clearance (SC)
can be programmed as the retraction mode.

Note: An alternative to the "Edge finish cut" option is the "Path milling" function
which offers greater optimization potential (approach and retract strategies and
modes).
