Parameter Description Unit
Machining
• ∇ (roughing)
• ∇∇∇ (finishing)
• ∇ + ∇∇∇ (roughing and finishing)
• Face
• Longitudinal
• Parallel to the contour
• From inside to outside
• From outside to inside
• From end face to rear side
• From rear side to end face
Machining
direction
The machining direction depends on the stock removal direction and choice of tool.
